She Shoots, She Scores!

Just in time for March Madness, Katie's class attended a local basketball event for Special Olympics at Xavier University last week. Over 100 kids, ages 8-22, were there. Katie really enjoyed it and did great being away from school for a few hours. Check out MECC''s newest point guard!









Katie even got a brief couple seconds of fame on the local evening news that night! Here's the link to the video ("Special Kids Inspire With Talent"):

If you look in the background near the woman's head, you'll see Katie (in pink sweats and a white t-shirt) and her interpreter, Wanda, running!
