Maplewood Hosts Our Own Games
By: Kevin Christian
Friday, March 09, 2012
Hundreds of student athletes and supporters join forces on Friday, March 16, to take part in “Our Own Games” at Maplewood Elementary from 10:30AM-12:30PM. These games give children with physical challenges the chance to compete against their peers and extend themselves beyond their perceived limits.
Inspired by the Special Olympics, most participants in “Our Own Games” are not emotionally or mentally impaired. Instead, they take part in events demonstrating skills learned in physical therapy, occupational therapy and adaptive physical education.
Over 50 students are participating from a dozen local schools. Following opening ceremonies, competitive events include wheelchair and bike races, walk and run races, ramp bowling, T-ball, accuracy and distance throws and a competition by students involved in the innovative M.O.V.E. (Mobility Opportunities Via Education) program. Student volunteers from Forest High School’s HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) Club assist the students with encouragement and support.
“Our Own Games” began 32 years ago when school therapists and teachers in Alachua and Marion counties organized the new kind of athletic competition. The Games have grown over the years and now involve Marion County students exclusively.
Maplewood Elementary has hosted the event for many years and is located at 4751 SE 24 St. near Ocala.
