SPECIAL EDUCATION CHALLENGES OFFERED AND MET The biggest challenge in working with special education students, says Mrs. Val Olson, their teacher, is helping them develop a positive attitude, an attitude that helps them feel good personally and makes them realize how special they are. She feels she has never encountered a student she didn't feel she could help. Mrs. Olson was influenced in her choice of special education by her sixth grade teacher who had worked with the handicapped. The interaction between this teacher and the children fascinated her, and she was hooked. She enjoys the variety of learning experiences undertaken by her students. Students compete in Special Olympics basketball, bowling, and track and field. The basketball team with good team play did very well in competition this year. Individually they competed in Run, Dribble, and Shoot. Despite their nervous- ness, they can be proud of their performances. Regarding her students, Mrs. Olson says, Accept each for what he can do, and build on his strong points to help him grow as a person Pictured at right are Special Olympic basketball team members: (front) H.

I was walking along the beach with the LORD, and across the skies flashed scenes from my life In each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One was mine, and one was the i LORD'S. When the last scene of my life ap- 1 peared before me, I looked back at the k footprints in the sand, and, to my surprise I noticed that many times along the path I of my life there was only one set of J footprints. And I noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times in my life. I asked the LORD J about it: LORD, you said that once I decided to fol- low you, you would walk with me all the way. But % I notice that during the I 1 most troublesome times I in my life there is only one set of foot- prints. I don't I understand why you I left my side when I I needed you most. The I LORD said: My precious I child, I never left you during your time of I trial. Where you see I only one set of foot- J prints, I was car- eying you. J 30
