SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Independent School District welcomed students who could be the next Special Olympic athletes of tomorrow.
The district hosted its Early Childhood Special Olympics Thursday morning at the Alamo Convocation Center.
Athletes in kindergarten and younger participated in activities that help with early childhood physical development, such as crawling, climbing, tossing and more.
More than 180 high school students volunteered at the event.
Nate Kotisso joined KSAT as a digital journalist in 2024. He previously worked as a newspaper reporter in the Rio Grande Valley for more than two years and spent nearly three years as a digital producer at the CBS station in Oklahoma City.
Adam Barraza is a photojournalist at KSAT 12 and an El Paso native. He interned at KVIA, the local ABC affiliate, while still in high school. He then moved to San Antonio and, after earning a degree from San Antonio College and the University of the Incarnate Word, started working in news. He’s also a diehard Dodgers fan and an avid sneakerhead.
