March Meeting Guests

Dates to Remember

Guests, Sherri Russell and Cowboy J.R. from

Small Miracles attended our DKG chapter
meeting to discuss the collaboration
between Small Miracles Therapeutic Horse
Back Riding Center and Kingsport City
Schools Roosevelt Elementary Life Skills
class and the educational approach to Equine
therapy and helping students with
exceptionalities meet their specific learning
targets through Project-Based Learning.
Small Miracles is making waves (or gallops
we should say) in the educational
community.
