RISD’s inaugural Bright Star track meet was held this week at Eagle-Mustang Stadium.
Dozens of secondary students with disabilities from all four learning community competed in a number of different events, coached and mentored by student volunteers, and a great time was had by all.
RHS Principal Chris Choat said the event is part of changing the culture of inclusiveness on campuses.
“It’s a great feeling seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids as they hear their name called and they come up to receive a medal. What I didn’t expect was to see the same joy from our mentor students. Just simply amazing!”
Thank you to all who organized, volunteered, and participated! #RISDBelieves
