33rd annual Socorro ISD Spring Games set for Wednesday

Staff Report April 2, 2019

The 33rd Annual Socorro Independent School District Spring Games, one of Team SISD’s most popular events, will be April 3 at the Student Activities Complex.

More than 800 special needs students will participate in track and field events, such as 10- and 25-meter walks, assisted walks and 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400-meter runs.

Other events include relay and wheelchair races with and without assistance.

A large audience of parents, families, teachers, students and community members are expected to attend the games to root for the student-athletes. Elementary students will compete from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and secondary athletes (middle and high school) will have their contest from 2 to 5:30 p.m.

Both sessions will begin with a mini parade that will include athletes, SISD administrators, teachers, staff and more than 200 volunteers.

Since it is endorsed by Special Olympics Texas, the Spring Games are a local SOTX competition with our students being SOTX Athletes in Training. They will have opportunities to compete city and statewide.
