The day started as any other, but for one group of Biddeford High School students, an announcement from Ms. Joyce Tarpy and a visit from Superintendent Jeremy Ray turned Thursday, May 30th into a day to remember.

When the Special Olympics was cancelled due to poor weather, there was not a make-up day scheduled.  On Thursday, May 29th, as a replacement for their lost competition, Tarpy shared that they were all going to the Portland Sea Dogs and Ray announced that senior Chris Lopez would be throwing out the first pitch.
