Last Friday brought many unhappy little faces to Creekside Elementary with the announcement that weather was cancelling SPS Special Olympics “Little Feet Meet”. Spirits were quickly lifted, however, when the school decided to host its own meet in the gym! Coach Johnson prepared the gym, the art teachers had painted a CES banner and spirit signs, Girls with Pearls and The Association clubs cheered on participants, and Mrs. Thompson’s first graders filled the bleachers and raised the roof. Even case managers and paraprofessionals demonstrated flexibility when the rain tried to dampen plans! What a way to combine resources to encourage these great children to have a great time trying out different activities. The smiles on their faces were priceless.
