SPECIAL OLYMPICS




Courtney was part of the Las Vegas Special Olympics this year through her middle school. She threw the shot put and javelin and did a pretty good job. We were so proud of her! There were kids from all across the valley, middle schools and high schools, and everyone seemed so happy to be there. It was such a wonderful day for the kids to feel like they accomplished something special and feel a part of something big. And it was. I cried most of the day as I watched the kids faces of pure joy as they were competitive with their piers and having the time of their lives. I hope she does it again next year!
