Savery's "Special Needs Student Concert" will give special needs students in grades five through 12 the venue to share their gift of music. This program's call to gather and celebrate talented mentally and/or physically challenged individuals would be similar to the Special Olympics but would center on music celebration instead of athletic competition. The music would be produced by the students to create a concert totally unique and different from the average concert. Savery recalls the awe and emotional feelings experienced while watching athletes in the Special Olympics run a race, complete a jump or score a hoop. The same pride and love can be shared by parents, friends and special need students in the arena of music. Students will be able to share their musical achievements with their peers, family members and friends. Savery hopes that this 'music meets special needs' program will inspire special needs students and boost their sense of pride in their accomplishments. Savery resides in Hot Springs
