Bowling 2012

Posted March 17th, 2012 by dluzwick

Dear Parents and Families,

Another exciting Special Olympics opportunity for your child. 

Please take a few minutes to read through the schedule for our 2012 Bowling season.  Do not hesitate to call the District 54 Special Olympics office if you have any questions or concerns.  We can be reached at (847)357-2105 or email me at davidluzwick@sd54.org

Please keep in mind that in order for a studnet to participate in any Special Olympics program, they need to have a valid Medical Application form on file with our office.  The medical application form is different than your child’s school physical.  Please contact the the Special Olympics office if your child has a current medical application form on file and you need to check on the expiration date. 

All registration forms are due to David Luzwick at Hale School if you would like your child to participate in Special Olympics Bowling program.  This is important to ensure that we have enough volunteers for this sport.  We can’t wait for what is sure to be a very fun, exciting program.  Hope to see you there!!!
