Students from the Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) program at Sanford High School (SHS) organized and hosted the first-ever Special Olympics Cornhole tournament in the state of Maine.
The event welcomed 70 athletes from nearby schools and adult agencies who came together to compete and celebrate the spirit of inclusivity through this increasingly popular sport.
The tournament, which took place at Sanford High School, was entirely student-organized and operated, showcasing the leadership abilities and community commitment of the JMG participants.
Their efforts paid off tremendously, with Special Olympics officials already extending an invitation for SHS to host the event again next year.
