Successful Disability Awareness Workshop

On Friday, March 26th, King School had its Disability Awareness Workshop for all 4th grade students.  This is the fourth year for the workshop at King and it was another great success.  Without all the help from school staff, parent volunteers and community members, it would not be possible to hold this event.
 
Sincere thanks go to the many volunteers who made it possible for students to experience this interactive day.
