ELDERSBURG — More than 90 high school special education students from across the county got to be just one of the group at the third-annual Inclusion Field Day on Nov. 12 at South Carroll High School.
As a part of the county’s Learning For Independence program, special education students rotated through 10 stations where they played basketball, hockey and volleyball alongside regular education students.
John Perna, the county’s adapted physical education coordinator, introduced and coordinated the event three years ago after picking up the idea from the Baltimore County School System where he worked for more than 20 years. (See full story) |

Influenza season is underway and county officials are urging residents, particularly the elderly and immune-compromised to get vaccinated.
Flu season generally runs between October and March, according to Debbie Middleton, communicable disease program manager for the Carroll County Health Department.
“It’s very important to get flu shots, especially in the vulnerable population, the elderly, immune-compromised, caregivers,” Middleton said. “There are thousands of deaths every year from complications from the flu. The more people that are immunized, the less transmission you will have.”
