Special Olympics

Special Olympics is a combined effort from Julie Potts (CPE), Rene Tilsley (Admin), Spreerbrecher (RVMS), Best Buddies program and the Special Populations department. Special Olympics was started by Ella Whitley in 1992 and aims to provide sporting event opportunities to our special needs population where they can be part of a team and experience what comes with being part of a team as well as opportunities for the mainstream students to get involved, make friends, and build an inclusive atmosphere for high school, middle school, and some elementary schools. Students can volunteer through the assigned Special Olympics Coordinator.
