The Katherine Thomas School spent the morning of October 27th at Shady Grove Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Rockville, MD. This is an intergenerational event with their students spending time with the seniors. The students provided musical numbers from the 1930s, 40s 50s, and 60s. The parents group provided the costumes for the musical numbers. The Kiwanis of Olney provided the Make a Difference Day shirts. Students with high functioning autism and language/learning disabilities decorated 144 white bags with an autumn theme that were filled with goodies including homemade book marks and pumpkin sun catchers. Students who excel in art created a piece of work that was donated to the center in a ceremony after the musical revue. The parents group provided the funds for framing the pictures. The high school restaurant class created a fruit salad. Sam's Club donated the cake with the Make a Difference logo and the school logo. Bloom Supermarket donated the pumpkins that were decorated by the students and placed on display. Giant Supermarket donated the tissue paper for the goodie bags and ribbon. Some students assisted with the stage crew. This event is truly allowed the students with special needs to feel "just like their friends" by giving of themselves on "Make a Difference Day." The members of the Kiwanis of Olney want to congratulate Robin Handleman and Steven Stoller for a job well done. We were honored in being a part of such a wonderful event.
