Bethlehem, PA -- Saucon Valley School District is so proud of the students who represented the district at the Special Olympics held at BASD Stadium.
Events like this provide meaningful opportunities for our students to compete in a supportive environment and give them the chance to shine. It's also amazing to see our regular and special education students come together. The event was special before our athletes even hit the field, because the elementary and middle schools sent them off in true Panther Pride fashion -- lining the halls to clap, smile, and wave to participating students before they left.
Missed coverage of the event? Senior Sam VanNorman -- who is also a Big Panther -- had the opportunity to talk to WFMZ 69 News with his Little Panther, Tyler, who participated.
