We had a visitor in P.E. class who competed in the Paralympics this year! Her name is Sydney Peterson and she is the cousin to Reese (4th grade) and Brynn (2nd grade) Haggerty. Sydney won Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in different Cross Country Skiing events. She shared her journey with the students through a slide show presentation and the students were able to see her medals and ask questions. It was an exciting day!!!!
