More than 325 students with special needs participated in the 7th Annual LIFE Games hosted by Madera County Superintendent of Schools on October 8 at the Madera Fairgrounds.

LIFE Games is an event that demonstrates that all students, even the most severely disabled, can be included in ­any activity with the right preparation.

Students participated in four different series of activities throughout the day. Activities focused on physical education, sensory, and visual and performing arts standards. Students also demonstrated teamwork with large team activities such as pool noodle field hockey and bocce ball.
