On Feb. 27, Shaler Area High School’s gymnasium was packed to watch a Unified Bocce match between students from Shaler Area and Moon Area High Schools. Each team is a combination of special education students and typical students who went toe-to-toe. The Shaler Area student body showed up in support of the athletes from both teams for whom the final score is secondary to the fun and camaraderie that this special program provides.
