Williams/Ledger Elementary fifth grader Romella Spitzer compliments her older sister, Samantha, on her canvas that she is painting. Romella knows that painting is one of Samanthaâs favorite activities, and the two sisters enjoy the hobby together.
It is those memorable times that Romella has shared with Samantha â who has autism â that led her to plan, implement, and create an event that opened up the world of art to children with disabilities.
Romella hosted Copperas Coveâs inaugural Chocolate Fantasia event as her community service project as the 2020 Preteen Miss Five Hills. Event proceeds purchased sensory classroom equipment for CCISD students with autism.
