OLDER STUDENTS MENTORED YOUNGER STUDENTS IN PE Once again our older students helped younger students have a successful PE session. Fun for both groups. INSPIRATIONAL PARAPALEGIC VISITED RENAISSANCE Kelly came and talked about being a multi-skilled athlete growing up. During college, she suffered a skiing accident that left her paralyzed from the mid-chest down. Nevertheless, she finished college on-schedule and re-learned how to ski, among other sports. She went on to earn an advanced degree in a branch of medicine and has become a mother. Life is different but it has not slowed her down. 6-7-2018
