Serving at the Special Olympics 2018

Posted on April 22, 2018 by Bethany Haycox

Cabarrus County Special Olympics held their Spring Games on April 11th and the CCS 10th, 11th, and 12th graders served as buddies for the athletes.

The CCS students were paired with athletes ranging in age from 11 to 65. As buddies they cheered their athlete on through the various events, danced with them while waiting, and gave lots of hugs and high fives!

It was a special day for ALL of US!
