A special congratulations goes out to the WRDSB Special Education Choir are the recipients of the 2014 Group Achievement Award, sponsored by K-W Oktoberfest Inc.

The award was presented at the K-W Oktoberfest Rogers Women of the Year award ceremony and is given to recognize the achievements and outstanding contribution of a group that impacts and/or improves our community or society.

The Choir started 25 years ago and is comprised of more than 100 singers from 14 different schools, alumni who graduate from WRDSB schools continue to sing with the choir as well as members of other agencies and group homes in the Waterloo Region. Some students don’t read or write, but they know the lyrics to more than 26 songs.

Recently performing at the Kitchener Rangers game and at the grand opening of the new KW Habilitation on Ottawa St. South, this uplifting group of singers will perform at Kitchener City Hall on Thursday December 4 at 7pm for the opening ceremonies of the Christkindl Market.

Way to go! Keep on changing the world, one song at a time!
