Spread the word

Wednesday March 5th, we will celebrate Special Olympics Spread the Word Day. This is when people worldwide rally to end the use of hurtful language to create a more inclusive future for everyone. Whether you’re a student, teacher, coach or parent, challenge those around you to take the pledge! Together, we can create a society where everyone is valued, celebrated, and free from the impact of harmful stereotypes.
