South Valley students made their annual trek to view the holiday displays at the Festival of Trees at Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy today. Even though many students in the transitional school have difficulty walking, seeing or communicating, dedicated District staff members made sure each student had the opportunity to feel the holiday spirit as they wandered through the beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses and holiday displays.
One group of students even took Trax rather than a school bus to the Expo Center, teaching them public transportation skills they will need as they transition from school to careers. All funds raised from the Festival of Trees support Primary Children’s Hospitals.
