GARDEN GROVE, Calif.—Nearly 2,000 people came out to watch and participate in Garden Grove Unified School District’s 51st “Special Games” Olympic-style competitions May 20 for over 700 special needs students from 18 local schools, in a highly-anticipated day of laughter, fun, and a special appearance from three-time volleyball Olympic gold-medalist, Misty May-Treanor.
The day began with heavy excitement from students and parents. Not even the light drizzle dampened their giddiness as Pacifica High School student Evelyn Nguyen led the anthem.
