Special Olympics Opening Ceremony!

After the parade, we all gathered at the old Sharp gym for the Special Olympics Opening Ceremony! We were so excited to display our banner and participate in the ceremony!

Outside of the gym, we ran into some of Ms. Malcom and Mrs. Stowe's old friends. The triplets, Avia, Kyla, and Tamya (below) were in Ms. Malcom's class at Fairview Elementary two years ago! It was so great to see them and they were just as excited to see us!

Ms. Higdon and Santoes wait in the bleachers for the ceremony to begin!

Ms. Malcom and Mrs. Stowe loved seeing their students from last year. Tradarius (below) is doing so well in middle school! We are so proud of him!

A view of the Opening Ceremony! All of the banners, from every school, were displayed! They were all so beautiful!

Ms. Stubbs, our Special Ed. Director, recieved special recognition because she will be retiring at the end of this year!

The color guard presented the colors before everyone said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the National Anthem. As they were marching, Ms. Malcom looked over to see Enoch intensely looking at them. He, too, was marching! How sweet!

The graduating seniors ran the torch around the gym!

Lighting the flame! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

After the Opening Ceremony, we had a picnic lunch! Yum!



It was a fun day and we had a great time!
