Peer Mediators Cheer on Student Athletes
Peer mediators from Westgate CVI were on site at the SSSAA track and field meet on May 26th at the Legion Track to lead events and cheer on student athletes from the Special Needs program. The students ran the 50m and 100m races and competed in the football throw, shot put, and standing long jump. Well done!
Congratulations to all the student athletes and thank you to the 13 Westgate peer mediators and members of Special Olympics for your support!
