“OJRHS Fall Fest is an event that evolved from a small gathering of three local groups playing matball to a much larger celebration of friends that includes hundreds of Best Buddies coming together to mingle with each other while joining in some fitness fun,”<\/em> shared Meg Wrubel, the co-advisor of the Best Buddies chapter at Owen J. Roberts High School.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fall Fest dates back to Meg Harpold’s junior year of high school at OJR, where she now serves as the chapter co-advisor. She continues the amazing legacy of this event, ensuring fun for Best Buddies participants for years to come.<\/p>\n Each year at Fall Fest, buddy pairs from different schools are placed on teams to rotate together through stations of fall-themed fun. Some favorites include the pumpkin slingshot, ghost soccer, face paint, an eerie Halloween obstacle course, and a scavenger hunt where students get to bring home some prizes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The entire Owen J. Roberts community showed up and showed out, with more than 110 volunteers from their club and support from administration, athletic staff, maintenance, and teachers.<\/p>\n “The end result includes smiling faces, new friendships, and a school memory that will last a lifetime,”<\/em> said Meg Wrubel. “We look forward to celebrating Fall Fest with our local chapters for many more years to come.”<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 14 Southeastern Pennsylvania Best Buddies school chapters come together for fall fun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2080,"featured_media":184579,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"pa-single-post.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[529],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pennsylvania-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
