CBNA Hosts Special Olympics

Special Olympians Bryan Hamel of Farmsteads, Keisha Wallis of Farmsteads, Dave Weaver of Pinkerton, and Joe Gesel of Pinkerton, compete in the recent Special Olympics event held at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy.

February 6th, 2009, was great day in the history of the Coe-Brown Northwood Academy community. Gardner Hoey and Tia Beckwith, as their Senior Project, hosted the annual Special Olympics, with a fantastic turnout of over 150 athletes and over 50 volunteers from Coe-Brown faculty, staff, and student body. There was fantastic cooperation and organization throughout the day with both the cross-country skiing and snowshoeing events to make it the greatest session assembled yet. We would like to thank all the volunteers for their outstanding devotion and support and to thank all the athletes as well for their strong determination and willingness to do their best. We would also like to send out a special thanks to the Crank Pullers for grooming the courses and allowing them to be useable for the occasion.
