School Highlights
Penguin Plunge
We're Freezin’ for a Reason!
Wednesday's Fang Fest activity was the Penguin Plunge. Our fearless Athletic Director, Kelli Braley, as well as some students, braved the cold water and weather as the Amherst Fire Department came and sprayed them with the fire hose!
Donations are still welcome! Please donate to our Plunge. It will make a profound difference in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities across the Granite State. Special Olympics athletes participate in life-changing programs that promote physical fitness, self-confidence, and social inclusion.
