The 10th Annual CHPS Feet Meet was a wonderful event! Over 225 athletes and buddies from Colonial Heights elementary schools, middle school, high school and Wesley preschool participated.
The Feet Meet provides an opportunity for all preschool, elementary, middle and high school students with and without disabilities in the city to showcase their skills and have fun. But more importantly, this event - like many others throughout the year - provides an outstanding opportunity to change the minds and attitudes of all of us about the abilities of persons with intellectual and physical disabilities.
