On Thursday, Nov. 3rd at Cheektowaga High School, Special Olympics NY hosted the first ever culminating event for Unified Bocce as an extramural. Four schools took each other on in divisional competition: Cheektowaga, Dunkirk, Fredonia, and Iroquois. Over 60 athletes and partners competed! There were well over 150 people in attendance throughout the event. It was the perfect day for an outdoor tournament, and everyone had an incredible time. Thank you to Special Olympics NY for organizing this event!

Recently, 28 of our seniors took a trip to the University of Buffalo. They had an information session with admissions and took a tour of the campus. It was a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about their options for higher education.
