Students from four Rocky View Schools descended on Bert Church yesterday (March 16th) for the Special Olympics Unified Bean Bag Tournament.

The all day event pitted teams from Bert Church, W.H. Croxford, Cochrane High and Chestermere High against one another, as they tossed bean bags at raised platforms with holes in the far end to gain points.

Ultimately, Bert Church 3 were the big winners of the day, with Cochrane 3 and Chestermere 3 coming in second and third. Croxford 1 won the sportsmanship award.

Teacher and organizer Ian Ferguson said the event was great, and he was pleased with how things turned out.

The event paired students with and without learning disabilities for a day of fun and friendly competition.
