Corynn Gilley Helps Open Playground
Senior Corynn Gilley was honored at the grand opening of Mitchel’s Landing, the first all inclusive public playground in San Antonio, which just celebrated its grand opening on November 30th. Corynn wrote a poem which was then translated into Braille and included in a mural at the park. Corynn’s poem reads:
“Search your soul for its pearl and bring it out with pride; For a person’s greatest treasure is what is found inside."
