2008 Williams Summer Olympics

Williams schools were back in full swing just as the 2008 Summer Olympics were getting underway.

Third graders in Barbara Mayberry’s class spent time learning about the history of the Olympics and famous past Olympians, were able to locate China on a map, and discussed different events and athletes that are representing the USA this year.

In preparation for Friday’s Opening Ceremonies, students had the Olympic Rings painted on their faces and competed in “Olympic Relays.” Pictured is the winning Gold Medal team: Jorge Rodriguez, Diego Loza, Maria Gisel Flores, Nancy Araujo, Nubia Camacho, Citlali Araujo, and Paloma Rivera.
