Special Olympics Parade!

On Monday we had our Special Olympics Parade! We were so excited to go, as you can see in the picture below!
Ms. Malcom and Aaron on the way to the Special Olympics Parade!

Once we arrived at the parade, we ran into many of our old friends from last year. Ms. Malcom and Mrs. Stowe got the chance to catch up with Ms. Henderson and Mrs. Vaughn, our friends from Fairview Elementary!

Ms. Malcom got the chance to pose for a picture with a few of her former students, Willie and Jarmorcous!

Mrs. Higdon, Ms. Kelli, and Santoes waiting for the parade to begin!

The parade began and we rode past one of the elementary schools, Ficquett Elementary. All of the students in the school were standing outside cheering for the athletes as they passed. Many of the students even made signs cheering on the athletes! It is really a precious site and certainly brought tears to Ms. Malcom's eyes!

Ms. Cathy Stubbs was the Grand Marshall for the Special Olympics Parade! She is our Special Ed. Director and will be retiring at the end of this year! We will surely miss her!

Ms. Malcom's mother works at Ficquett Elementary. She took these pictures of us! Thanks Mom!



La'Shawn really enjoyed sitting on the back of the truck during the parade! He looked really cool in Ms. Malcom's sunglasses!

Ms. Malcom, Mrs. Stowe, and Enoch wave to the people as they pass! Enoch really got excited about waving to everyone!

Lucy waved during the entire parade!

Mrs. Higdon practicing her wave!

Santoes and Ms. Kelli were such great friends. They had a great time together during the parade!

Enoch was so excited and so silly! Towards the end of the parade, he laid on the back of the truck and just giggled! Too cute!

As usual, with the Special Olympics Parade, a great time was had by ALL!

Thanks so much to Ms. Cassandra for allowing us to use her truck and for driving us in the parade! We greatly appreciate it!
