Holy Family Catholic School

My Good Friday speech to the students at Holy Family Catholic School in New Albany, Indiana reminded me once again what a wonderful honor it is to serve as Ms. Wheelchair Kentucky. The families of Holy Family (particularly Ronda Stumler) will be instrumental in helping me execute a successful Bluegrass Bash fundraiser, and it was really important to me that I share my story with the students.

Holy Family educates nearly 325 students in Kindergarten to 8th grade. The curriculum is rich and spiritually guided. It was abundantly clear that students, parents, faculty and staff take great pride in their school. I toured several classrooms and presented. The final part of the assembly--the question and answer period is what blew me away. The entire student body was so attentive and polite, and they asked such insightful and engaging questions.

I am incredibly honored that Holy Family found in me, a light that reflected some of the values they instill as part of their curriculum. I may have been the one presenting to the students about accomplishing goals and believing in yourself, but they were the ones who taught me.
