Como-Pickton holds Special Olympics with Rains ISD
Last Friday, Como-Pickton hosted a Special Olympics Fun Day. CP athletes joined by Rains ISD special athletes participated in track and field events. Thanks to Alliance Bank for furnishing our hot dog lunch and thanks to our High School and Elementary Student Council for volunteering at our special event. It was a wonderful day!

The Quitman Pilot Club is a charitable non-profit service group dedicated to improving the lives of people in their community within the mission, scope and guiding principles of Pilot International in three areas: Brain Safety & Fitness, Supporting Youth and Caring for Others. They do this in many ways, with great fun and friendship making along the way. The Pilot Club of Quitman is an all-volunteer organization with three mission areas.
1.) Educating for the prevention of traumatic brain injury and offering services to those suffering from brain related disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, Stroke, and Autism.

3.) Supporting those that care for others.
