We started Special Smiles because at our school we are in a program called Special Olympics, which is a program where we get to go to the gym and work on skills with the special needs kids. We have a very nice and skilled buddy. He is Spanish and is learning how to speak English. We see him once a week and treasure the time that we have with him. That's why we started this program to raise money for kids like him. We hope we do well and raise a lot of money.
