On March 26th the Hopewell Indians basketball teams took on the staff and volunteers in the annual “Staff Vs. Players” Game at Coshocton High School. The staff started strong and at the half were up— but the third and fourth quarters were a struggle. Once the final buzzer rang, the game was tied and the Staff and Players went into a 1 minute overtime. Just by the skin of their teeth, the Staff pulled off a win! Great job, everyone!
As March comes to a close, it’s so wonderful to take some time to reflect on how amazing Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month is. We have been honored to be able to host our annual coloring and essay contest with all public schools in Coshocton County, held our annual Kiwanis Track and Field Days for youth and adults, competed in Special Olympics State Championship tournaments, held our annual Staff Vs. Players game, and we had an amazing luncheon where we were able to honor so many great community leaders who make Coshocton County so amazing to live, work and thrive in.
At our DD Month Luncheon we discussed how technology can assist people who have developmental disabilities be more independent and have fuller lives. We were also able to honor 7 different people/groups who make Coshocton County so amazing.
