Hi there –– 

Fall is in the air – and it’s time to go back to school! It's a season that brings mixed feelings for many, but it's also a chance for growth, new friendships, and endless possibilities. 

Take it from Mia, a Special Olympics Minnesota athlete and college student. She knows going back to school evokes different types of feelings. From the excitement of starting fresh to feeling nervous about meeting new people, Mia has been there and she has some great advice for those heading back to class: 

A simple message from you, can make someone’s day. Your message of positivity is a reminder that they have a strong support system cheering them on and that can change everything.

Thank you for being a source of inspiration. Your support means the world to us and to the Special Olympics community. Let's come together to make this school year one filled with hope, growth, and boundless achievements for our incredible athletes.

Here’s to a great year,
