Cokeville students participated in an amazing assembly on Thursday at Cokeville High School. Ben Kjar, a man who has overcome many challenges physically and emotionally to become an amazing wrestler and inspirational speaker on the importance of being kind and not letting the words of others determine who you become, spoke to students. Kjar is featured in a documentary film “Standout: The Ben Kjar Story” produced by T.C. Christensen. It chronicles his journey of overcoming bullying, numerous surgeries for Crouzon syndrome and societal prejudices. (GAZETTE PHOTO/Jan Moody)
