The annual Polar Plunge will take place at the Shawnee Mission Park Beach on Feb. 28. The Shawnee Mission School District currently has 11 members that will jump into the lake on Saturday to fundraise for Special Olympics Kansas.
Special Olympics Kansas creates an accessible environment where students can participate in activities without many barriers. These programs are designed to adapt and serve every level of ability. Adaptations include having low motor development events in track and field and different floatation and assisted swim competitions. This allows for students in SMSD’s special education program to have more space to participate in activities.
“[The fundraiser] brings awareness of additional opportunities that are available for students with disabilities,” Assistant Superintendent of Special Education Sherry Dumolien said. “This highlights these additional opportunities that were above and beyond what we provide as a school district.”
The event begins at 9 a.m where participators show up and register and join SMSD’s team, Freezin’ For a Reason. Following this some of the members of SMSD’s team will participate in the Polar Strut 5K at 10 a.m. After the opening ceremony and the costume contest, the teams will plunge into the lake at 11:30 a.m.
This year's “Freezin' For a Reason: Because Kids" team has members, like Superintendent Michael Schumacher and Assistant Superintendent of Special Education Sherry Dumolien. According to Dumolien, the team is not set in stone and is open to new members and donations. One can become a part of the team by registering Saturday morning and can donate leading up to the event.
As of Feb. 26 the Polar Plunge has raised $72,378 for the Special Olympics out of their $80,000 goal. The Freezin’ For a Reason team has raised $100 from individual donations out of their $1,000 team fundraising goal.
Last year SMSD won the award for most participants on a team. According to Dumolien, when more participants show up it gives her more hope for the community's commitment to making sure everyone is included.
“We do a very nice job within our school district to make sure belonging is important,” Dumolien said. “[The fundraiser] directly impacts individuals with disabilities and without disabilities, and creates those inclusive opportunities.”
According to Dumolien, the SMSD Special Education Department is committed to continue figuring out how to add adaptations in activities that have previously been thought of as inaccessible
“I think the more that we can [support] ways that individuals can access and can participate, as opposed to automatically thinking about the barriers,” Dumolien said.
It was an early morning, and everything seemed normal. As I opened my phone, I checked my crypto wallet, as is my usual habit. The balance was zero. At first, I thought it was a glitch, so I refreshed the page, logged out, and logged back in. My hands started shaking, and I was sweating, wondering what had happened since everything was fine the previous night. Checking my history, I realized a transfer had been initiated to a wallet address I did not recognize. My heart sank, and I became very scared. I checked my Binance account again, hoping it was an error that could be reversed, but I realized I had been hacked, as Binance does not make such mistakes. My savings of $430,000 was gone altogether. I reflected on what happened and remembered I had clicked on a link that was sent to my email by fake Binance, which allowed scammers to take over my account. I decided to research how to recover Bitcoin and spent time reading online posts and asking other victims for advice. Then, I came across (DIGITAL LIGHT SOLUTION) website https://digitallightsolution.com/ They requested transaction records, wallet addresses, screenshots, and related details, which were provided. Their investigation traced the funds to a cryptocurrency wallet and identified connections to a broader scam operation.

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com
