The Alternative Learning Center hosted a Special Olympics event in their gym. Competitors young and old played in a ping pong tournament. They traveled from all over central Arkansas The students were so excited to be hosting the event. They organized the groups and completely ran the event. It was fun to watch and to photograph. I dodged ping pong balls and looked for good shots. ALC students did not actually compete. They are very good and practice daily. They follow the rules and take the game seriously. They keep score like a hawk. They lose patience with me quickly when I try to play. The competitors were happy to be there and smiled happily for the camera. Winners proudly wore their ribbons. The whole event was declared a success and plans are already being made for next year.
