Fulton County Schools recently hosted the districts Special Olympics Track and Field Day at North Springs Charter High School.

Students with special needs from schools throughout the county came together to compete in events such as standing and running long jump, shot put, softball and tennis ball throws, 50 meter and 100 meter dash, 10 meter and 25 meter assisted walk, 10 meter wheelchair race, 25 meter walk and 25 meter motorized wheelchair obstacle course. Students with special needs who are unable to participate in traditional track and field events take part in the Motor Activities Training Program.

Volunteers from the community, as well as county and student volunteers and school staff, help make this event a success every spring.
