Friday, January 20th students took part in the national Unified Movement with Special Olympics. The Unified movement is all about making the world more inclusive for people with and without intellectual disabilities. If you "Live Unified" it means you help ensure that everyone has the right to play, learn and thrive in your school and community. Middle school and high school students signed the pledge to include, received prizes, and learned more about Cook County Unified Club. Sawtooth Elementary students had special visitors from the Unified Club read a book about inclusion and got to sign the pledge as well.
The banner will hang near our cafeteria to remind us of our Unified Movement and the importance of inclusion in Cook County.
