Community Consolidated School District 89 offers a Special Olympic athletics program that provides opportunities for all students to contribute. 

Students can be a part of basketball in the winter and/or the track-and-field team in the spring.

Basketball: Students who are eight and older can participate in the Special Olympics basketball team. The basketball team will only run if there are enough participants to field a team. The team practices once a week for eight weeks, and then competes in a tournament at the end of the season. 

Track and field: The track-and-field team is open to middle and elementary school students, beginning in second grade. The team practices once a week for eight weeks with peer buddies and other coaches. 

The coordinator for the Special Olympics program is Therese Conlin.
