Extended School Year students celebrate summer at Rochambeau School
Southern Westchester BOCES Students at Rochambeau School enjoyed a break from their school day to participate in carnival-style games, face painting, refreshing water activities, and enjoyed ice cream off an ice cream truck.
Students played games, including inflatable axe throwing, skee ball, ring toss, and racing through a bouncy castle slide. The summer fun wouldn’t have been complete without a way to stay cool, so organizers ran water games for students in a shady spot at the front of the school. To end the event, students were able to select a treat of choice off the ice cream truck. The event wouldn’t have been such a success without the partnership of The Disability Guys, who funded and organized the event, as well as Lifting Up Westchester.
“We just moved to Rochambeau in July, so it’s nice for them to take a break and have fun and to have new opportunities to collaborate outside of the program,” said Principal Julia Dolan. “It’s a nice event to have on a beautiful summer day.”
