The Washington County, Florida School District has announced that the Washington Academy for Varying Exceptionalities (WAVE) athletic coaches Amos Spires (Head Coach) and Karen Powell (Assistant Coach) are proud to announce that another athlete has been invited to the Special Olympics Florida Gala.
Miranda Nowell was chosen by her coaches as the Athlete of the Year for the 2024/2025 season and was then nominated for the event to the SOFL selection committee. Miranda was selected and will attend the 2025 SOFL Fundraiser Gala this Saturday night at the Four Seasons Resort in Orlando. She will be honored during the event, where she will dress in style, mingle with sponsors from across the state, and showcase her favorite medal from a previous competition.
Miranda will leave tomorrow with her coaches and administrator, Ms. Brenda Basnaw, with a special send-off from the WCSO and EMS, organized by the Washington County School Superintendent, Mr. Thomas Register. She will then participate in Community-Based Instruction activities, working on skills she has learned in the classroom as she awaits her moment of celebration.
