The Special Olympics Come to Ensworth

On Wednesday, Oct. 7 the Ensworth 10th grade class worked hard and played hard with some Special Olympic athletes during their Service Learning Day. Each year the sophomore class puts together a Special Olympics Sports Festival to help train athletes for Special Olympics of Tennessee. The Ensworth students offered a variety of Olympic-type sports for children with intellectual disabilities. The entire 10th grade class divided into six groups to lead drills and training in basketball, track & field, soccer, flag football, bocce and volleyball. The participants rotated through each sports station, having an opportunity to experience and learn skills in each activity. The weather was beautiful and all the Ensworth students and faculty get involved in this very special day!
