A Walk & Roll Adventure to Jeff City!

Well...here we are! The day after our first ever field trip!  It was one of the most invigorating  experiences I've ever had.  A day full of fun and impending adventure, advocating for people with disabilities. 

We were a crew of 15 passengers accompanied by a very cool coach driver named Johnnie, who got us there and back safely!

Who's behind the wheel?  None other than the fabulous Johnnie Jordan!

We met with Senators and State Reps and got a glimpse of what it takes to rally for a great cause.  It comes down to the following words of wisdom composed and written by my daughter Mia.  I'm  even more proud to be her mom than I was before!

We were a mix of kids and adults representing various counties, educational backdrops and cultures and we all had one thing in mind: helping kids.  It was awesome.
