To kick off inclusion week at LaPerche, the Special Olympics of Rhode Island joined our third, fourth, and fifth graders for an assembly about what it means to be a Special Olympics athlete. We heard from our guest, Maryellen, who works for Special Olympics and is a Special Olympics athlete. She shared about the challenges she faced in middle school and high school, as well as how Special Olympics helped her overcome them. Special Olympics helped her stand up against bullying and to become more confident and become an Upstander for others. LaPerche students asked excellent questions such as what hardships she has faced, who inspires her the most, and how far she has traveled. They encouraged the students to come out and support the athletes during Summer Olympics Games Weekend May 31-June 2. Thank you to Special Olympics for teaching us about accepting and loving others for who they are.
