Located on the west side of Fort Worth, Arlington Heights is the home to many notable alums including football players, coaches, author Tommy Thompson, musician John Denver, Tony Award-winning actress and singer, Betty Buckley... throw in some political notables too... BUT we will have to say that our shout out goes to the 290 student volunteers from Heights who will make a difference in a child's life later this month!
On May 20, those volunteers will give of their time, their hearts and their energy to stage the FWISD Young Athletes Program, Special Olympics. They will be directly involved with 3 - 5 year-olds who have physical and development needs.
This is the fifth year that Arlington Heights High School has participated in the Special Olympic Day and the program has grown on the Heights campus from an initial attendance of 19 children to providing a fun opportunity for 159 special needs children from FWISD elementary schools!
What an accomplishment! We are beaming with in a pickle PRIDE!
Come on out and support this great event on May 20th at the Arlington Heights Football Field at 4501 W. Freeway in Fort Worth --- where young deserving athletes will celebrate what they CAN achieve!
