Friends on the Field
FHS seniors host field event for special needs students
“It was a fun event dedicated to FHS’s special needs students who got to participate in football, kickball and wiffleball,” said Noah Haag, a member of a senior team, which is part a Leadership 3 class. “The sparkle squad was there to cheer everyone on. There also were many senior athletes, helping them out with various stations and games.
“We decided to host this event for the special education students in our school because we wanted them to have a memorable experience that celebrated each of them,” he said. “There are some people in our school who may not know how amazing these students are.
“No matter the disability, they are just like us: human beings,” Haag said. “Getting to know all of them on a personal level has been such a blessing to my life.
“I’m sure others in my leadership class would say the same thing,” he said. “I hope this event becomes an annual tradition at Farragut.”
