28 CYCA members with volunteer sponsors Mrs. Nashberry, Mrs. Coplea and chaperones Mrs. Reiman and Mrs. Parr, spent the day volunteering at Special Olympics Friday. They helped run the track serving as stagers, timers, and escorts to awards. Their help was much appreciated by organizers and the students found it very rewarding! They went above and beyond, helping ensure participants felt celebrated-high fiving, hugging, cheering, and clapping! We even had 3 alumni return to help. Here's a few pics photographers at the event snapped that included some of our crew.
