Best Buddies Field Trip

Preston has really enjoyed being a best buddy again this year.  They have had SO many special field trips (Top Golf multiple times, races, and other events) to help the special needs kids at JMR feel honored.  I love how they always send them off with a clap out in the hallways of school. :)  Today was a super special event as they were competing against other schools in track and field.  I tried to gently remind Preston that it wasn't all about winning, and more about making sure the buddies felt special and had fun.  He wasn't exactly thrilled about the thought of being slower, but off he went. 

While I was out working the principal sent me texts with pictures of how awesome their team did.  They won FIRST place!! I love this picture where Preston is congratulating his buddy!

 It turned out to be a super fun day, for both Preston and his buddy!  I love his heart and the way he is learning how we are all different and can be celebrated in different ways; JMR does it well!
