Lose the Training Wheels

This week when I was at school, I couldn't help but take a few moments to stop and watch the WKHS student volunteers working with kids with Down Syndrome as they learned to ride their bikes without training wheels. It was awesome to see the energy and enthusiasm you had as you cheered on and the kids in their quest to learn to ride their bike.

Today the Columbus Dispatch ran a story about the Lose the Training Wheels camp and one of my students, Jared Elliott, is even pictured in the slideshow.

Congratulations to all of the students who volunteered their time, energy and effort to help with this worthwhile cause! And, I strongly encourage more of you to consider getting involved next year - it looked like it was a fantastic week.
