On April 11th, 23 students from Ivy Hill competed at the Special Olympic Equestrian County Show held in Pineville, PA. Forty Special Olympic Athletes spent a minimum of ten weeks training at Ivy Hill and One Step At a Time (OSAT) from January through April as part of the Bucks County Special Olympics Equestrian Program. On the 11th, they competed in trail, equitation and dressage classes.
In June, 26 altheles from Ivy Hill & OSAT will represent Bucks County at The Pennsylvania Special Olympic Summer Games held at Penn State University. This is an amazing event lasting three days. Athletes participate in open & closing ceremonies, various equestrian competitions and many fun activities throughout the weekend. Athletes get the chance to stay in the dorms, eat the cafeteria food and get a little taste of college life as they "take over" Penn State's campus.
Ivy Hill staff and Board of Directors would like to congratulate our Special Olympic athletes for their hard work and dedication - they do an amazing job representing Bucks County each year. We would also like to wish them the Best of Luck as they prepare to travel to Penn State in a little over a month's time.
