Dressed in colored team T-shirts, Levittown’s Division Avenue High School career development students and Best Buddies members participated in relay games during the school’s annual CD Sports Night. Special education chairperson Terence Rusch introduced each member of the team as family and staff cheered from the stands.
During the evening, the students participated in 10 relay activities, including the Smile Game, in which they ran across the gym and drew a smiley face on a piece of paper before returning to the team. Other activities included Do the Laundry, Find the Birdie and the Tennis Ball Balance Relay. Rusch explained that each of the relays assisted the students in further development of fine and gross motor skills.
Peer Buddies assisted the CD students with the completion of tasks. Senior Justin Hansen said he enjoyed helping out.
“Helping these students is something positive to take away at the end of the day,” he said. “For the CD students, our presence here means everything to them.”
