Avon Special Olympics

A big THANK YOU to Avon Mayor Bryan Mayor Jensen, Avon PD, and Avon FD for visiting a few of the community’s Special Olympics athletes last week.

“Every year since he was a student at Avon East, my son has participated in the Lorain County Special Olym-pics’ Field Day, held in May. He has so looked forward to that day every year…the send off…the student volunteers… the donated packed lunches and snacks…and most of all, competing,” reports mother Kim Knauss.

“This would have been his final year to compete, but due to Covid-19 he will miss that chance. Instead, he will participate in a virtual Special Olympics Avon is putting together to honor the athletes. The plan is to take a vid-eo of him doing the softball toss.”

We borrowed a softball for his best event, reports mom. “We promise to take good care of it, sanitize it, and quickly return! Nicholas thanks you in advance!”
