Special Olympics at Whitmore-Bolles

This year at Whitmore-Bolles we were lucky enough to receive a grant to host Special Olympic activities in our school.  One of the great programs we will be implementing is the Young Athletes Program.  This program is for students 2-8 and focuses on basic motor skills.  These motor skills are the building blocks on which all movement is based.  By introducing children to movement early in life, they will develop the basic motor skills needed for continued advancement in sports and games, as well as daily activities.  The Young Athletes Program will be held on Fridays starting in November.  The children will go through a 15-20 minute rotation of activities and then will go back to class.  It will be run by students that have accepted the leadership role.

We also will be implementing Project Unify
