New Friendships Made at 2012 Special Olympics

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Service for Social Action Center at WJU

As the semester comes to an end there are not a lack of service opportunities for the students of Wheeling Jesuit. Last weekend we hosted the 2012 Special Olympics on a beautiful spring day. There were many causes of excitement during the activities with new friendships being formed between the Olympians and student athletes. The HESS and Prison Ministry programs both celebrated their semester conclusion with ice-cream parties. HESS mentors and mentees watched a slide show reviewing the year, and the incarcerated youth of the Prison Ministry program made sundaes and played games of Catchphrase. Although everyone will be missed over the summer, things will pick back up in the fall. Athletes walk a lap with the torch to begin the 2012 Special Olympics
