"Special Olympics is a global movement of people creating a new world of inclusion and community, where every single person is accepted and welcomed, regardless of ability or disability. We are helping to make the world a better, healthier and more joyful place—one athlete, one volunteer, one family member at a time." Hatboro Horsham hosted Montgomery County's Special Olympics 2024. McKinley had 14 athletes compete in grades 2nd to 5th grade. All 14 students were champions and had a wonderful day celebrating with Abington School District alongside other neighborhood districts. Congratulations to our first year athletes!
