Dedication

What does a jar of skiddles and a group of students have in common?

Everything and nothing!

This blog is dedicated to 'kids who are different'; those whose potential may be 'hidden' underneath the exterior of their bodies or whose interests and talents can only be discovered through relationship - a willingness to 'see' with our hearts and 'experience' with open minds.
