Huddleston

Elementary School is observing Exceptional Children's

Week through Friday in partnership with the Peachtree

City Commission on Children and Youth and Fayette County

Department of Education.

According

to Huddleston principal Lynda Lambeth, the week's focus

is intended to "raise the level of awareness on who

these exceptional children are, and what they can

do..."

Huddleston

was selected as this year's participating school and is

offering all its students a full menu of activities

geared toward elevating their understanding of the

various mental and physical disabilities sustained by

these exceptional children.

Games in

physical education classes, visiting readers and writing

contests are just of the few classroom-based components

of the week-long program.

"On

Friday at 8:15 a.m., will have a wheelchair race,"

Lambeth said. Also, Huddleston staff and faculty members

will play the Challengers baseball team in a game

starting at 6 p.m. at the South Complex fields on Ga.

Highway 74.

The

Challengers is composed of exceptional children from

Peachtree City.
