PEAKING INTO THE CURLEY

Curley – Special Olympics National Banner Status

Curley K-8 has been awarded National Banner Status by the Special Olympics for our outstanding work in inclusive sports, arts, and student leadership!

The student presentations at the ceremony were truly inspiring. Our 5th-grade performance of “Waving Flags” was a highlight, and our K-2 students added energy by cheering on athletes in the parade. Special thanks to Derrick White from the Boston Celtics for joining us and to Lumene Montissol, Special Olympics Gold Medalist, for sharing her powerful journey.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this day unforgettable. We are incredibly proud of the work we’ve done together, and the impact of our efforts extends far beyond Curley K-8!
