Spread the Word to End the Word events took place around the country on March 6, 2019.

More than 150 Delaware schools will take part in this year’s “Spread the Word” campaign, which Special Olympics Delaware’s media relations director says has evolved from its original mission – stopping use of the derogatory of the “r-word” – to emphasizing respect and inclusion. Participating schools will host events such as assemblies and banner signings promoting inclusion.
