CHS Student Carries the Olympic Torch

 

 

 

The Special Olympics are back in the United States after 14 years away, and Centennial’s Yoli Shields was the first to carry the torch in Alpharetta as the torch makes its way from Greece to Los Angeles in June.  Yoli’s team raised $20,000 for the event and were asked to pick up the torch at North Point Parkway. 1A police escort – made up of the Alpharetta and L.A. police departments – guided the runners through town, with the final goal of Los Angeles next month.
