NJHS Special Needs Olympics

Submitted by scott.buck on

The National Junior Honors Society (NJHS) of Diamond Fork Junior High recently held a Special Olympics service project inspired by the president of the honors society Jonathan Tanner. Special needs students were placed into groups of 3-4 and chose a country to represent.  Each of the NJHS students also picked a country and made individual posters for that student and their country so they could cheer on that student while competing in all of their events.
