SCUC Special Olympics received a boost from a community partner, as Gunn Chevrolet presented a $3,500 donation on the field of Lehnhoff Stadium this afternoon. District Special Olympians were on hand for the check presentation, which will go towards new equipment, letterman jackets and uniforms. Barry Klinge, Adapted PE/Special Olympics coach, accepted the donation.
Edwina Soto, PE coach at Wiederstein Elementary School, received a surprise visit from representatives from Firstmark Credit Union earlier today. She was awarded a $1,000 grant from the financial institution to help purchase a new playground parachute for students.
Playground parachutes are used to develop physical skills like hand-eye coordination, balance and mobility, using rhythm and music. Other benefits from playground parachutes include strengthened muscles and teamwork skills, such as social interaction and communication.
Congratulations Ms. Soto, and thank you Firstmark Credit Union!
