Partnership with Special Olympics: Unified Sports
Everyone wants to feel a sense of belonging in their groups, whether it’s in their community, school, teams, or family. A strong sense of belonging fosters protection, respect, and confidence, while also strengthening relationships.
For students, developing a sense of belonging at school is essential—it helps them focus on learning and growth. Equally important is teaching students to be accepting of others. One way to promote inclusion and belonging is through programs like Unified Sports, which bring students together through shared athletic experiences.
Please see the event listing below for dates and locations. All Unified Sports events are scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m.
