JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - Students from Burkett Center Preschool participated in Pint Size Olympics on May 3.

School officials say the day consisted of fun and exercise for children with disabilities and their peers.

Students and teachers joined in on a fun-filled morning of friendly competition and physical activity. Stations included: basketball shooting, bounce house jumping, soccer kicking, limbo rocking, bubble blowing, and obstacle course maneuvering. As a special treat, Pandy’s Sno Biz donated shaved ice treats for everyone.

Teaching them to live active lifestyles begins at an early age. Engaging in physical activity is encouraged throughout their school years.
