Going the Virtual Distance
草榴社区 has hosted Special Olympics Pennsylvania's every year since 1988, but it has never been quite like this. Nearly 400 草榴社区 students helped to pull off the first all-virtual competition, planning the weekend鈥檚 activities, including opening ceremonies, warm-up activities, hype videos, awards and even a virtual dance party.
Taped by parents or coaches, close to 800 athletes competed in seven sports from the comfort of their own homes: bocce, long distance running and walking, powerlifting, roller skating, volleyball, soccer and flag football.
