They even have a CCSD Paralympic Competition Team with students competing at national events.
I had the incredible honor of witnessing these athletes in action during Paralympic Sport Family Night.
-Kids will start rolling in, and they're going to do a warmup.
We have hand cycling and cycling; turbojav, which is a form of javelin; and then we have a discus throw.
-Paralympic Sport Family Night held at Rancho High School-- -And once the families show up, the magic just starts.
- --a magical and fun-filled night with some friendly competition.
-So you two can go over to javeline throw.
You can help teach them how it's done.
(Stefania) Not competitive-competitive, but like just a little.
-Here, you will witness some heartwarming moments and huge accomplishments.
-I did it, Mommy!
(Jarrad Clancy) Seeing the smiles light up and kind of connect, like, Hey, I can do sport, you know.
Because we provide adaptive equipment.
We have the skills and the staff here to help them.
-This special family night, part of CCSD's Adapted Physical Education department-- -Yes!
-Inclusion.
Inclusion is huge, yes.
It provides students with physical challenges and visual impairments the opportunity to see sport and get involved in athletics of some sort.
- --the department made up of more than 70 kind and caring Adapted PE teachers-- -Oh, yeah!
- --teachers like Jarred Clancy.
-We service all schools in the district for Adaptive PE, which is inclusion in PE, and then we have our programs such as this one, our Paralympic Sports Club and our Family Nights, that takes a crew.
And without our team, stuff like this, events like this, just don't happen.
-There you go!
-Each of these phenomenal athletes-- -Can I do it?
- --is an inspiration.
-Good job, Monroe!
-Athletes like 6th grader Stefania, who's part of the Las Vegas Paralympic Competition Team-- -I got like four gold medals.
-Cheering Stefania on from the sidelines, her proud mom, Vania Gutierrez.
(Vania Gutierrez) She loves like really, really.
It's like a-- And she says me every time, "When is Paralympic Night?
When is Paralympic Night?"
I'm so, so proud of her that the first time I saw her, like, running, I cried.
Every time that she does something, I cry because she really teach me that nothing is impossible.
-Stefania, who's been a part of this program since she was about five, knows that taking part in sports is also making her stronger every day.
-All of the teachers are very kind, and they help me with my left hand.
-Witnessing these incredible athletes firsthand, you will no doubt leave inspired and with a happy heart.
-Woohoo!
-You will also quickly learn that they are all part of a very special family.
-I just can't say enough.
I love what I do.
-These dedicated and compassionate Adapted PE teachers and these amazing athletes-- -They're doing a good job, too, and I can help.
I can help them, too, and they can help me.
- --are all winners-- -Try and do your best, and don't give up.
- --in my book.
I just can't say this enough: I left inspired and with a very happy heart.
I'm still smiling.
