On Friday, October 28, the program was kicked-off with an all-school assembly featuring The Berkshire School Music Academy. The performance featured a variety of young adults who have intellectual disabilities. Their wonderful performance inspired the entire audience and demonstrated that people of all abilities can perform at high levels.
This past Friday, third graders continued to learn about physical disabilities from a workshop. They were able to watch these inspiring videos:
