Onlookers cheering, contestants smiling, and people encouraging contestants made this a special event. Special Olympics were held at our site this year during the school day and many classes got to crowd at the rail on the deck as students from special ed classes around the district competed in various snowshoe relays. Below, a student from Alakanuk hustles towards the finish line with a caring hand nearby.Many people were involved in the event-- students, teachers, Natural Helpers, the people who planned the event, classified staff, etc. My class enjoyed clapping, hollering, and screaming and gave respect to their fellow schoolmates. I hope to see something like this again next year!
