The Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run kickoff took place on May 4 at the state capitol, with the governor, other police officials, and SOTx officials there to kick off the event. Ridgeview and Cedar Valley Middle Schools took some of the Meet in the Middle students to this event and we were able to witness this important fundraising event.

We even had the opportunity to meet Governor Perry after he lit the torches.

We had previously been invited to attend a luncheon and Meet in the Middle presentation at the SOTx state offices in Austin. We were asked to do a presentation on what Meet in the Middle is and some of the things we have done to implement it into our schools. Many police authorities and SOTx board members were there, in addition to all the office employees present.
