Valley Special Olympics
Missouri Valley Middle & High schools have had an active Special Olympics team for several years. The team sponsor has been Mrs. Cyria West for several years. She and her students have been assisted by Mrs. Jackie Barker & Mrs. Karen Otterpohl, who have generously volunteered their time since the program began. Mrs. West will retire this year and we thank her for her years of service to our Special olympics program at Missouri Valley schools.
The new sponsor for the Special Olympics program is Mr. Travis Maasen, who also serves as coach and Special Education teacher at MVHS. Everyone enjoys participating and competing in the various sports.
The highlight of the year is always the trip to the Iowa State Special Olympics in May! Everyone enjoys the competition, socializing and the dance! This is a wonderful program for our special students and we are grateful to be able to participate in the various Special Olympics activities!
