Special educational students take part in bowling tournament

The 16th annual Special Education Bowling Tournament was held on March 16. Special Education programs from Oakhurst, Coarsegold and Mariposa entered into the fun at Sierra Lanes.

This year’s students Hannah Kincaid and Jessica Silva, of YHS, organized the tournament as their senior project.

One hundred students attended the event — kids playing in the morning and adults in the afternoon. Ribbons were passed out at the end of both sessions to congratulate each child or adult on playing his/her best game of bowling.

The ribbons were distributed by the teaching assistants of YHS, who came to help with the tournament.

Jennie McClellan was the recipient of the Kenny Miller Award this year. A student at YHS, Jennie loves to bowl. She is a very enthusiastic student and an exceptional bowler. She was very proud to have received this award.

Hannah Kincaid and Jessica Silva give special thanks to Lori Blate, the teaching assistants, Sierra Lanes, Round Table and all of the parents and other people that attended.

Hannah and Jessica said it was a wonderful experience for both of them as well as the kid and added that they would do it again any day.
