Second Grader Spends A Special Day of Service

On September 24, Lombardi, along with her dad Tony, joined the Andover Service Club to help out with the Special Field Games. The games are Andover's version of the Special Olympics, and this was Lombardi's second year in a row helping out at the event. 

Remy and Tony were paired up with an athlete, Glenn and together they helped him to have a wonderful day, participating in a variety of athletic events.

"Remy was tired at the end of the day, but they had a lot of fun together," said mom Amanda Symmes.
