Uvalde students participate in 2024 FLS Spring GamesFree Access


Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District parents and students gathered May 3 for the 2024 FLS Spring Games.

The event, held 9:30 a.m. to noon at the Honey Bowl, was held specifically for students enrolled in Functional Living Skills programming, which provides services to students who have cognitive or other qualifying disabilities.

Students, clad in gold medals, hopped mini hurdles, raced and participated in throwing events on the sunny Friday afternoon.

A big thank you to all who joined us in supporting our students,” the district said after the event. “Your support truly makes a difference in their lives, helping them to thrive and succeed.”
