“ I enjoyed myself and you helped me take pride in myself. We learned many things like vocabulary and anatomy how to use our cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine; to have a strong rectus muscle and stand upright. Then at the end we did a big performance in front of the school. After it, I felt good about myself. I felt like I was someone special. Keanna Jackson, 4th grade student ”
