| Shipley Hosts Special Olympics Bocce Ball Tournament |
The Shipley School hosted the Special Olympics bocce ball tournament for the second year in a row on Saturday, November 3. Shipley students and faculty members volunteered their time as line judges, score keepers, and cheerleaders during the bocce tournament. Other volunteers helped run Shipley’s Olympic Village carnival, which featured games and activities for bocce athletes.
The competition was part of Villanova University’s Fall Festival, just one of over 300 events offered annually by Special Olympics Pennsylvania (SOPA), and one of SOPA's three major statewide events. SOPA organizes competitions for and provides year-round sports training to more than 18,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Fall Festival is the largest annual student-run Special Olympics event in the world!
