Jacqueline Bora Assists with Special Olympics Junior Athletes Program

2017 May 8

Castleton student Jacqueline Bora recently helped with the Special Olympics Junior Athletes Program during the 2016-17 academic year.

Special Olympics Junior Athletes is a seven-week program that welcomes children ages 2-7 of all abilities to engage in physical activity. Castleton students serve as coaches, setting up the gym with various gross motor activities, encouraging students to participate, and if necessary working individually with students whose behavioral or physical needs warranted additional assistance.

Students warmly welcomed children and their parents, engaged happily in all activities, and created a happy fun environment in which young children could learn gross motor skills.
