Description of your school:
Lake Silver Elementary School is a public elementary school about 18 miles from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. We have approximately 600 general education students in grades kindergarten through five. We also have about 100 exceptional education students in PreK through grade 5. Our students attend school from 8:45 AM till 3:00 PM. Most of our classes have 20-25 students. We have two general physical education teachers who are assisted by two paraprofessionals. We also have one full time adapted physical education teacher who works with one paraprofessional. Our general education students have PE 4 times a week and music on the fifth day. Most of our exceptional education students have PE 5 days a week. Those that go to music are mainstreamed into a general education class.

Our students will compete in the teleolympics on a grass field. Our long events are run around the perimeter of the field which measures 400 meters.

Description of your community:
We are considered a city school since we are located near the downtown area of Orlando. Orlando has approximately 1,750,000 people in the city and another million living outside the city limits in Orange County. Our most popular attractions are the Walt Disney World theme parks, Universal Studios and Sea World. We are located near the center of the state so, besides our local attractions, we are convenient to beaches on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

Description of sports done in your school:
We do not offer any type of sports program for our general education students. They are taught the basic skills for softball, tennis, football, basketball and track in PE. Our physically impaired students have the opportunity to participate in track meets with other physically impaired students.
