Dunbar Special Education classes
visit Wings Over Houston Airshow
Two Special Education classes from Dunbar Middle School were guests of the Wings Over Houston Airshow - Special Show for Special People. The students really enjoyed the airshow and the golf cart ride from the bus to their seats. The students were greeted by ROTC members as a welcoming committee and upon leaving the same ROTC students waved good-bye and gave high fives to as many students as possible.
