The visit was sponsored by the Richland Sertoma Club, which caters to children with speech and hearing imparirments.
"It's just such a joy to us that we can actually do something that mkes the children interact with each other and with an adult and just bring some joy in the kid's life," said Jacke Sterne, Richland Sertoma Club President.
Sterne says the event is in its eighth year at the school.
