Members of Wetumpka High School's robotics team have once again put their skills to good use by helping children with special needs.

A group of 13 students from the 60-plus person team volunteered their time and talents to help two children and their families. On Thursday, April 15, the students and their teacher Dr. Virginia Vilardi presented 7-year-old Jaiden Morgan with an adapted motorized car and 5-year-old Kerrington Thornton with an adapted walker.
