Every year since Cathy Brown has been an early childhood special education teacher at Cherry Run Elementary School, a baseball game and picnic has been held in celebration of the end of the year for the older preschoolers.

“It’s just a great event,” Brown said.

The students, who have a variety of disabilities, move through different stations, including batting, fielding, pitching, base running, sliding and cheering. They wear uniforms and are cheered on by their parents and teachers.

“The kids just love it,” Brown said. “The families enjoy it as well.”

This year, the rain held off and the game went on as scheduled. Students and their families enjoyed a great day of baseball and a fun picnic.
