Opening ceremonies begin at 9:45 a.m.
The public is invited to attend and cheer on our athletes.
In collaboration with the Special Olympics of Southern California more than 200 students from six secondary schools have been invited to participate.
These students are enrolled in the District’s STEPS (Structured Teaching Educating Prepared Students) classes.
Thirteen classes representing grades 6-12 will compete in the 100-meter dash, relay race, shot put, and long jump events.
Additional activities include a cheer clinic, tug-o-war, and a face painting booth coordinated by Dana Hills High School students.
The program’s volunteers are sponsored by the Special Olympics of Southern California, which is also funding student transportation to the event and lunches for the athletes.
Both student participation and division victories will be celebrated with award ribbons.
