Shortly after Sochi women’s hockey silver medalist Michelle Picard entered the classroom at Marty’s Center, the preschoolers erupted into a “USA” chant.
While visiting family in Chattanooga, she stopped in to spend a morning of exercise, autograph signing and snacks with the students and staff at the preschool for deaf/hearing impaired and speech/language impaired students.
“My advice to kids is just to try different things and don’t be afraid to do what you like, even if it’s not necessarily something normal,” Picard said.
