Happy Easter!
Yesterday, I was able to help out with MyASLTeacherRocks and their nonprofit ParentsROCKReadinessProject.

They hosted a STEM CAMP- Galloping into Spring and I am grateful to have experienced it. This unforgettable journey of learning, horseback riding, and making connections was fantastic. The Signing Easter Bunny, food, and friends made it a truly priceless day.

Thank you to everyone who had made this event a success!
