Tarver Day

Today our school celebrated Bret Tarver's Birthday with the annual parade.  The fifth grade honored Olympic heroes and their sacrifice, hard work, and never give up attitude.  Our class marched for para-olympic heroes.

Afterwards we were treated to amazing speakers.  We had a presentation from a migrant farm worker who put himself through college.  Then we heard from a true paralympic athlete from the Foundation for Blind Children.  Our speaker went blind as an adult but has managed to overcome his limitations and even climbed Kilimanjaro Mountain in Africa.  What an inspiration to us all.  Lastly, we watched an amazing juggler who had the children clapping and cheering.  It was all such fun!!
