      More than 700 athletes lined up to take their place in the annual  Cumberland County Special Olympics early Friday morning, April 28. According to Amanda Thiele, co-coordinator of the event and a special education tech at Bonny Eagle Middle School,  “This was a big turnout this year, not just with the athletes but also with volunteers. More than 200 students were willing to come out and not just help but to support their teams.” 
    The athletes participated in a number of different events including relay racing, long jump, and wheelchair racing. Bonny Eagle High School Ed Tech, Mrs. Vickie Thiele, (Amanda’s mom) said, “There was a lot of cheering, smiling faces, love and compassion.”  
    Alisha Gagnon, the speech and language teacher at Bonny Eagle High School said, “I love how we all came out cheering for everyone and not just for our school. We even help out everyone and again not just for our school. I like that.” 
   Amanda Hayes, ed tech at Bonny Eagle High school said, “The Special Olympics was a heartwarming event.  It was wonderful to see so many students and teachers support our athletes.” 
   In addition, many parents expressed “overwhelming joy” at seeing their cildren doing all these events. One mother said her heart was filled with love. “Seeing my daughter run, even though she was the slowest, she tried her best and it made me cry.”    
​    One thing is sure, seeing all those amazing faces light up with smiles and happiness and knowing they had a fun day made all the hard work of preparing for the event worthwhile.
