A Teachable Life Experience

Physical education teacher Suzanne Vitale from Jackson reunited with some of her students today, utilizing her post-superstorm car accident as a teachable moment .  The accident resulted in a lower limb amputation and a broken shoulder for her, and although she is not yet cleared to return to work, she has missed the students so much that she came to teach them about life with a prosthetic limb and how she is not letting it limit her abilities. Greeted with many hugs and well wishes, Ms. Vitale and the students have kept in touch through letters during the past few months. Her courage and drive to regain normalcy is inspiring not only to the kids, but to the adults surrounding her as well. We wish her the best of luck on a full and speedy recovery.  Catch her CBS interview here: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/04/06/cutting-edge-technology-helps-woman-who-lost-hand-during-sandy/
