Preparing For The Special Olympics!

Help me give my students comfort during Special Olympics track and field events.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Grisson's classroom raised $634

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of my students will be participating in This year's annual track and field Special Olympics, which will occur in April. As the track and field games usually occur in extremely sweltering weather, I'd like to ask for items to help my students feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed.

Please assist me in procuring the following items for our student's Special Olympics track and field competition:

Fan misting bottles

Collapsible chairs

A picnic blanket

A stadium tent

A utility wagon

The hand misting and cooling blowers, for instance, will assist my students in regulating their body temperature while outdoors.

They will be prevented from scorching.

During non-competition hours, my students will be shielded from the sun while they rest beneath the stadium tent. Additionally, the picnic blanket will prevent my students from having to sit on the ground or other. I intend to ensure that my students are as comfortable as possible for this occasion.
