Students Comments:
Teachers and Students Agree ...pleased with the curriculum as developed but students will benefit from more hands-on that will be worked into future presentations.
The SMA Stair School is well underway with the first course, the fruition of a year long effort and hundreds of volunteer hours. Stay tuned for the "How they did it" email and how you can take advantage of this training opportunity in the future.
