Stambaugh Elementary School and student Ellie Brzoznowski recently invited Kelly Allen, a Paralympian in the 2016 Rio Olympics, to speak to the school. Allen is a member of Team USA in paracanoe competing around the world. She was born with a rare birth defect and is missing her left femur, patella, and fibula - because of this she now uses a prosthetic leg. Ellie also wears a partial prosthetic after a sledding accident in March 2021. (submitted photo)
