First Place: 

Nicole Hudson submitted this photo of her son Alex. Alex is an assistant coach for Archbishop Curley High School's Junior Varsity football team. The Council contest judges were impressed because of Alex's leadership role and the self-confidence he shows side-by-side with the players he coaches.  Nicole writes, "It is truly a great representation of inclusion at its finest. He is treated with respect just like the other coaches."

Second Place:

Angela Chite works at an inclusive child care center and snapped this candid shot of friends Wyatt and Everett. The two boys often play with action figures together but on this day Everett took the initiative to read to Wyatt. "Wyatt has the comfort and security of knowing that someone cares about him. As Everett gets older, he will be more understanding of people with differences who will remind him of his buddy Wyatt." 

Third Place:

This photo was submitted by Rosemary Ross who works at a provider of employment services and supports funded by the Developmental Disabilities Administration on the Eastern Shore. Brad has worked at Sal's part-time for several years, and loves his job, as his smile attests. Rosemary writes, "Brad and Sal have become very good friends." We are sure that good friends make for great pizza!
