How inspiring so beautiful to see everyone working towards common goals.
This video made me smile so much. Great job Russell and wonderful to see such a great program being run by Fisher Road School. I used to work at Fisher Road and have to say the Principal staff and students are truly amazing.
I enjoyed watching Russell and his colleagues working. My sister hd a disability but she was never offered this training or encouragement. I wish them all the luck in the world.
