About:
Amityville Memorial High School’s Warrior Awareness Club (WAC PAC) advisor Jason McGowan and 25 members of the club spent May 3 at Walt Whitman High School for the annual Long Island Special Olympics. Students partnered with a Special Olympics athlete and escorted them to their events throughout the day. The student volunteers took their athletes to the Olympic Village, joined them for lunch and danced with them as the DJ played throughout the day. The event created a lifetime of memories and fostered strong connections between students and athletes.
