Lead From Here
As part of our schoolwide focus through Lead From Here, students in all three divisions play an important role during this special event. This year, our sophomore class will be assisting with the Spring Games, and a group of sophomores will have an opportunity to be a part of the Youth Games Management Training program that Special Olympics Wake County created for the first time last year. Students who volunteer for the program will be trained by a representative at Special Olympics Wake County to lead the track and field games. Our Lower School and Middle School students will continue to decorate signs of encouragement for the athletes and provide enthusiastic support at the opening ceremony. Also, a group of Middle School students will have the opportunity to assist in our new sensory room that was created by two of the Special Olympics Committee members.
