Hundreds of Jordan District Middle School students visited The Ballpark at America First Square to take some baseball and golf swings. The yearly middle school golf event has become so popular that it outgrew Glenmoor Golf Course and transitioned to the home of the Salt Lake Bees. The event is part of the “Show Up for Unified Sports” initiative led by First Lady Abby Cox and Special Olympics Utah.
Students of all abilities were cheered in by cheerleaders from local high schools. During the golf portion of the event, members of the Utah Section PGA coached them up on their swings and helped them with putting on the miniature golf course. On the field, Bumble was dishing out high-fives as students played baseball in the outfield.
Thank you to the Salt Lake Bees, Glenmoor Golf Club, Special Olympics Utah, and the dozens of volunteers who came together to make the final Middle School Unified Sports event of the school year a memorable one for all.
