Special Olympics Indiana Logo
Celia “CeCe” Robinson, a junior at Plymouth High School, is a member of the IHSAA Student Advisory Committee. The committee is made up of 18 high school athletes from across Indiana who represent more than 160,000 student athletes in the Hoosier state. The committee's goal is to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics Indiana. CeCe is trying to do her part here in Plymouth and she has started inside the Plymouth Community School Corporation.
CeCe said, “I’ve set a personal fundraising goal to raise $2,000 for Special Olympics Indiana by the end of the year in order to bring home the Champions Together Unified School Banner for Plymouth High School for the very first time.” CeCe says the banner is a symbol of inclusion and unity within a school.
Jim Condon said, “She requested permission to have faculty, certified and classified, wear jeans to work during the week of December 4-8. The total cost to wear jeans all of those days is $10 per person. I think this is a great cause and would love to see 100% participation.”
CeCe is also holding a Special Olympics basketball clinic on Wednesday, December 6th from 12:30 to 3:15 p.m. Community members are welcome to attend the basketball clinic, however it is during school hours and you must enter through the school’s front doors and have your license.
“I have a small group of PHS student athletes who are available during the hours of the clinic because they are either a teacher’s assistant, have study hall or have been excused from their regular class to help out; they will be considered partner athletes of the clinic. I also have a few girls and boys basketball players that will be running various basketball skills stations,” said CeCe.
If you are a community member and you would like to help Robinson reach her fundraising goal please contact her directly via email at [email protected]. Donations can be made during school hours in the front office at Plymouth High School.
