Celebrating Our Special Education Athletes

Annual Kiwanis Special Games focus on ability and inclusion

We are proud to celebrate our Special Education student athletes from Blackford, Capri, Forest Hill, and Rolling Hills for competing in the annual Kiwanis Special Games on April 25th! Their energy, determination, and sportsmanship shined as they took on activities designed to celebrate ability, effort, and teamwork.

The students participate in obstacle courses, frisbee throws, bean bag tosses, 100-yard dashes, and more at West Valley Community College. 

The event represents the true meaning of inclusion and community. We are grateful to the staff, volunteers, families, and the Kiwanis organization for making this memorable day possible.

Congratulations to all of our student athletes—you inspire us all!
