While it’s not raining now – it could be later, or it could be over. But there is a heavy mist and the track and grounds at the high school are wet.
No practice tonight.
The Hotline is not working – if you know someone who would call to verify practice – either call them or let me know to call. Hopefully it is just a minor issue and will be back working soon.
Recently the Piggly Wiggly donated $1058,47. Kevin Szydel accepted the donation on NSSO’s behalf.
🔥 Season Kicks Off May 9! 🌭🍔

Our grill outs are more than just great food—they help support the athletes of North Suburban Special Olympics all season long. Every burger and hot dog served makes a difference!
We encourage athletes, families, coaches, and volunteers to come out, show support, and be part of the fun. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch or staying to help, your presence means a lot.
🙌 Get Involved – Volunteers Needed!
We’re always looking for extra hands to help make these events a success.
If you’re interested in volunteering at one (or more!) of our grill outs, please contact:
