The involvement in Special Olympics all began three years ago when Nathan was at home watching the 2012 London Olympics. He told his mom, Kimberly, that he wanted to do what the athletes in London were doing. Kimberly then began to research the Special Olympics and came across the local chapter. Nathan began training for track and field at the local level and took home a 1st place medal in the 50 meter run and a 2nd place medal in the softball throw. Last year he competed in bowling as an individual and with a team. His team placed 4th and he placed first in the individual category. Currently, Nathan is training in track and field again where he is competing in the 50 meter, 100 meter, 400 meter relay, and shot put. Nathan’s experience and involvement in Special Olympics has brought a boost to his self-confidence and the opportunity for him to meet new people and build friendships. One day his dream is to be an ocean paleontologist, and with the drive and passion he has great things are in his future.

Playful City for 2013. West Covina is one of 37 cities nationwide to receive this recognition for the first time. Sponsored by the Humana Foundation, Playful City USA is a national program from KaBOOM!, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., that celebrates and promotes local policies that increase play opportunities for children across the United States. The Playful City USA program was established in 2007 to help local governments address the lack of play in communities across the United States and to recognize those communities that are making a commitment to play and physical activity by developing unique local action plans to increase the quantity and quality of play in their community. West Covina projects that received recognition included the new playgrounds at Palmview and Del Norte parks, as well as the new splash pad and dog park at Del Norte Park. In addition, West Covina was recognized for the many partnerships with local nonprofit organizations and businesses in an attempt to maintain previous levels of community services programming and recreation opportunities in the City.
