Special Olympics - Tuesday

Tuesday, September 26^th is the Special Olympics. Mrs. Matos' and Blank's students will be loading the buses around 9:00 a.m. and departing by 9:10. We would like to provide these students with a parade type send off again this year!  Mrs. Blank’s class will parade on the North side and Mrs. Matos' class on the South side. They begin at the back of the school and work their way to the front.  They will begin at the lunchrooms then go by the gyms and then head down the stairs toward the grade level hallways. Classes can line the center hallways. They will pass the music rooms and then continue down the main hallways toward the front of the building. When passing the North training room/STREAM studio, they will walk down the side away from the office. They will finish by turning toward the office on the front hallways to come down the 4^th/5^th grade hallways to the front of the school.  

Please line up in the hallways at this time to support our students who are participating in Special Olympics!
