Today these ladies helped out in the community at the Buffalo Autism Project Resource Fair. They helped with setup and then got the opportunity to engage, help, support, and play with kids who have autism. It was a morning filled with lots of smiles.
Some of my softball girls volunteered their afternoon to come be role models to my 5th grade class. They could ask them questions about life moving into MS, HS, being student-athletes & did a team building activity w/ them!
