School Assembly
Our students enjoyed an assembly that included some amazing displays of strength from Strongman Steve Schmidt. Steve holds Guinness World Records for several of his lifts and displays of strength. More importantly his story told by his wife is one of finding your unique gifts, not being afraid to pursue your gifts, and to always believe in yourself.
