polar plunge

After-School Program

We are excited to announce that our Poe Special Olympics program will be participating in this year's Polar Plunge!  The Polar Plunge is a series of events hosted by Special Olympics Virginia at which supporters brave the cold and plunge into the icy waters to fundraise money for this important cause.  Poe will be going to the event on Saturday, February 22nd at Leesylvania State Park in Woodbridge.

If you are interested in participating or making a donation, please check out our Poe team page using the following link: https://impact.specialolympicsva.org/team/275560.  Additional information can also be found at: https://polarplunge.com/prince-william/.

50% of the funds we raise will go directly to our Poe Special Olympics program, with the other 50% going to Special Olympics Virginia.  We will be using our portion to pay for transportation to Special Olympics events, purchase equipment, and support our efforts around building an inclusive school community.
