October 6th 2010

REVIEW: A homecoming of sort, Ben D.Anderson grew up in Kenmare, North Dakota and delivered a great message to the students of Kenmare High School.  ( Oct. 6th 2010)  His talk centered on acceptance of those with disabilities and also touched on bullying, two topics very important in schools.  His talk was interactive and our groups responded well to Ben.  Great job Ben and keep up the good work.--Scott Faul, High School Principal, Kenmare, North Dakota
