Our Life Skills students participated in Special Olympics in Mabank this past weekend and had a wonderful time. We had 9 athletes total from the middle school and the intermediate. The team won 8 Gold Medals, 7 Silver Medals, and 3 Bronze Medals between the two campuses. These same kids and a few that didn't get to participate at Mabank will be heading out Friday morning for Lufkin to compete in the Special Olympics Area 7 Spring Games.
