Update: Here's another link to the Special Olympics site with a better description of the program, including a guide to the kinds of activities they will be doing. I'm planning on giving it a try.

Special Olympics: Young Athletes
Special Olympics: Young Athletes
The link above will take you to a story from the national Special Olympics website. Sounds like this is a new program from Special Olympics and an even newer program for Marquette. When I dropped my daughter off at her ECDD program this afternoon, there was a flyer in her cubby introducing the local program. It will be held every 1st and 3rd Monday evening from 6:30-7:30 in the Sandy Knoll Gymnasium, starting next week, October 18. The flyer describes it as "A developmentally appropriate play program for children with intellectual disabilities, ages 2 to 8." Sounds like they have some good people involved: Heidi Dougan, Special Ed Teacher from MAPS; Barb Nelson from MARESA; and NMU students in the Adaptive Physical Education program. Heidi Dougan can give more information at 226-3519. There will be forms to complete on October 18.

Sad thing here in gwinn schools, is that they are not allowing flyers to be sent home , I did talk to the ecdd teacher to let her know abt this and there is nothing she can do as she only talks to one parent via email, and cannot send home a flyer on this,,,so alot of kids and parents will be missing out,,,
