Lynley graces us with her presence at least once a school year. She comes to present about the power of the words we use and the need for forgiveness. Sharing past experiences, she helps students understand that people with disabilities can be just as goofy and feisty as anyone. They love to hear her jokes and anecdotes.
Lynley also shares her tales of her Special Olympics days and likes to roast a sassy student every now and then, to the delight of everyone as they egg her on. Students love the visits. We usually get comfortable with some junk food, and enjoy our time with Lynley as the center of attention. Lynley has scrapbooks full of student thank you's that they've written to her. I think she enjoys her visits to Hamlin as much as the students do. She's usually invited to the 8th grade graduation at the end of the year, and dives right into her cake!
