Expanding their abilities
In a basement of a church filled with a mix of college and high school students, disabilities and abilities didn't separate them as they played and worked together at various stations featuring art, music and more. This was all part of Floyd County Special Students Summer Program, an idea created by New Albany High School graduates to help reach out and help area students with disabilities. All summer they have met in the basement of Silver Street United Methodist Church every Friday to host a summer camp that featured lessons in cooking, kitchen safety and field trips that taught students how to ride a TARC bus, find work and more.
