A special day
St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office/David Spencer
St. Mary Parish students came to the Berwick High School stadium on
Friday for the parish Special Olympics. The event brought together students with physical and developmental challenges in athletic competition. The Special Olympics program is a project of the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation, named for the father of President John F. Kennedy. The foundation promotes the health and welfare of the disabled. The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office Facebook post on the Berwick event carries this bit of verse:
Let me Win.
But if I cannot win
Let me be brave
in the attempt.
