Special Olympics: Track and Field Regional, Sat May 14

Special Olympics will be hosting their Track and Field Regional on Saturday May 14, 2022 7:00am-2:30pm at The Meadows School (new location).

In this event, volunteers will be involved in keeping scores, cheering on the athletes, handing them water, setting up the event, and more!

Through the power of sports, Special Olympics help people with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills and success. Their athletes find joy, confidence and fulfillment — on the playing field and in life. They also inspire people in their communities and elsewhere to open their hearts to a wider world of human talents and potential.

***Dress code depends on the event! Usually AED shirt and closed toed shoes. For bottoms, it depends on the weather, preferably knee length or longer (for example, at swimming events we are allowed to wear shorts since it’s pretty hot)

Volunteers are now REQUIRED to sign up prior to the event. This helps the organizers with planning. Students can use the link below to sign up: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdiFNe13uKlPOnggjZvdllbSd5fmn2ZIzKNVST5ZQhf8f-bEA/viewform?usp=sf_link
