ROCHESTER, N.Y. — More than 450 students in the Rochester City School District took part in a Special Olympics celebration on Thursday. The event included sports activities, carnival games and a student-led parade. Organizers say today’s celebration is the capstone of a lot of hard work for these student athletes. “They’ve been working all summer, not just on academics, but on building their skills in preparation for this.” RCSD’s Extended School Year Program serves students with disabilities, offering individualized education plans and year-round engagement.
