Students from special education classrooms at Queensbury Elementary School and the William H. Barton Intermediate School participated in the Fall Games through the Special Olympics of New York on Friday, Oct. 18. Nearly 100 students participated in the activity stations with the support of 25 staff members at the Morse Athletic Complex in Queensbury.
“Our students were highly engaged and had huge smiles!” said Jessica Harris, director of Elementary Student Support Services.
Following the event, staff members said, this was “just what the class needed” and they "can't wait to make this a yearly event.”
“We are excited to continue our partnership with SONY to implement the Young Athletes curriculum,” Harris continued, “and to offer increased inclusive opportunities within our school community.”
