While studying Ancient Greece, Mrs Runyon's 6th graders heard from Mr. Ed Cockrell, a former paralympic competitor. Among many other competitions, Mr. Cockrell competed in the 2004 Paralympics in Athens, Greece, where he placed 2nd and received a silver medal in the shot put. Mr. Cockrell added some depth to the topic of Ancient Greece and the Olympics for the students.
