The Special Education Department of Bossier Parish Schools is reaching out to the community for support as they gear up for the upcoming Bossier Parish Schools Special Olympics. With plans underway to purchase banners, flags, and t-shirts for the event, sponsors are urgently needed to ensure its success and provide essential resources for the participating students.
Each school banner, measuring 3 ft x 5 ft, comes with a sponsorship cost of $50. Additionally, school flags, which will line the field during the event, range in price from $170 to $200. While the exact pricing for t-shirts is still pending, the department wanted to kick off the sponsorship drive early to allow ample time for community members to show their support for the students participating in the Special Olympics.
This year’s event promises to be particularly exciting, as each student participating in field events will be paired with a buddy who will serve as a mentor from their respective schools. This inclusive approach aims to foster camaraderie and support among all participants, creating an enriching experience for everyone involved.
The logo chosen for the 2024 Bossier Parish Schools Special Olympics holds special significance, as it was created through a collaborative effort between students with disabilities and their peers in regular education classes. The students were tasked with designing the logo, and their collective creativity resulted in a design that truly represents the spirit of unity and inclusivity.
For those interested in becoming sponsors or learning more about the sponsorship opportunities available, they are encouraged to call (318) 549-6171 and express their interest in supporting the BPSB Special Olympics. By becoming a sponsor, individuals and businesses alike can make a meaningful contribution to an event that celebrates the abilities and achievements of students with disabilities.
