2019 Wayne County Special Olympics
May 16, 2019 Spring Valley High School hosted the annual Special Olympics for Wayne County Schools. These amazing young students get together in unity to exemplify Great Attitude, School Spirit, Good sportsmanship and above have a place where they fill love support and joy.

The day includes sporting events of running, softball throws, standing long jumps. They also have free games, face painting for all kids to participate in at parking lots and bouncy house and slide that the JROTC operate. It’s truly remarkable to see the overwhelming support and joy that comes to the kids life.
I look forward each year to see the joy that Special Olympics puts on my grandson’s handsome sweet face along with all the other special angels there! We have great community support for these events and some great people and educators behind them!
