This special day started last year as senior Aubrey Padfield's FCCLA project and was an integral part of THS working towards becoming a Champion School with Unified PE. Special thank you to Makayla O'Donnell and the Connor Olson Foundation for help with the awesome t-shirts provided to athletes and peers! #tongienation #usd464
