Maryland State Police Torch Run For Special Olympics

Monday, June 7
Maryland State Police Torch Run for Special Olympics
Pinehurst Elementary School


In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Maryland Special Olympics, and the 25th anniversary of the Maryland State Police Torch Run, Pinehurst Elementary and current and former Special Olympic athletes will gather outside the school to join in a Special Olympics parade. The Torch Run will begin at Salisbury University and go by Pinehurst School on the way to Sharptown. Once the Torch Run passes, about 1 p.m., there will be a parade of current and former Special Olympic athletes and coaches, including athletes from the recently concluded inaugural bocce season. Music teacher Buck Burton will have his pep band there to play. Mike Bovino, Special Olympics consultant; Superintendent of Schools Dr. John Fredericksen; Director of Special Education Bonnie Walston, and others are invited guests for this event.

Editors Note: Sorry about the timing Folks. The Board of Education, (Tracy Saylor) didn't post this earlier than 12:00 PM today. Nice work Tracy, AGAIN! I'll add, they hadn't posted ANYTHING on the BOE Site since the May 28th. Not on their Home Page anyway.

Though the Maryland State Police are actively involved, it should be corrected to read the Maryland Law Enforcement Torch Run's 25th Anniversary. This is a collaborative effort by all Law Enforcement Agencies within Maryland as we make the trek to Towson University for the Opening Ceremonies of the Special Olympics Summer Games. Thanks for your support and visit www.somd.org. The Agencies participating today were, The Maryland State Police, Salisbury Police Department, Salisbury University Police, Worcester County Sheriff's Office, Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, Ocean City Police Department, Maryland Department of Corrections and Howard County Police Department. I apologize if any Agency was left out. Join us tomorrow in Cambridge for another spirited fun filled day!
