Getting special ed students involved in sports is goal of two H-F seniors

It may be a field hockey rivalry, but before teams for Homewood-Flossmoor High School and Stevenson High School took the field, they gathered for a photo that showed off the players in their blue Special Olympics T-shirts. The effort, led by H-F students Cori Hoekstra and Maggie McNellis, has thus far raised $1,500 for Special Olympics. But the two seniors said their effort also was to get special education students involved in sporting events.
