Special Olympics Bowling

This school year I took on a new position as the Life Skills Teacher at Ravenna Public Schools. I am the teacher of the children who are not able to be full time in the regular education classroom due to their disabilities. I LOVE my job, the kids are WONDERFUL and make my day complete just being with each of them! Below is a picture of the kids I currently teach along with the paras that help make the teaching of these kids a success! We took on Special Olympics Bowling this year and have been practicing for a few months now! The kids Love bowling because we got to practice twice a week during the school week! The regional competition was on Feb 1st at the Big Apple Fun Center in Kearney. All of the kids bowled three consecutive games that day placing them in 1st-3rd according to their cumulative score! Each of our kids either placed first or third in their division qualifying them ALL for STATE Bowling!!!!! How proud all of us were for each of them to be so awesome and the majority of the kids parents were there to share in this amazing fun-filled day :) State Bowling will be in August just before school starts so we will be looking forward to some practices this summer!!

For those of you that were at our wedding almost 8 lovely years ago, Marissa the girl with the walker was the flower girl at our wedding. She learned to walk by herself just weeks before our wedding day!!
