More than 1,200 students and volunteers participated in the annual Cherokee County School District’s Special Olympics Awareness Games on Oct. 4 at River Ridge High. Elementary, middle and high schools sent athletes and student volunteers to the event, which was co-coordinated this year by Amy Aenchbacher, Dave Martinez, Paula Dixon, Amanda Farist, Ben Farist, Noah Fornuto, Emily Heath and Jennifer Merges. PTAs hosted additional games and activities for athletes.
