Friends, I'm excited to announce that, on Fri. December 6th, for a second year, I will be taking the Polar Plunge at Woodlawn Beach, Lake Erie as a charity event in support of the Special Olympics! I'll be running into Lake Erie in the winter... I went up to my shoulders last year... I think I'll just go all the way in this year! :)
I'm doing this as part of our Clarence Schools team to support our Unified Club, which does such tremendous work to create opportunities for our special-needs students to come together with general-ed. students for fun sports and activities.
My Polar Plunge will be in honor of my mom, Moira Cooley, who dedicated her entire teaching career to serving special needs students as a Special Education teacher...for 34 years!
Please consider donating to this very worthy cause- my goal is to reach $150 total. All proceeds go toward the Special Olympics. If you are able to throw a few bucks toward this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
