Over 200 high school students of all abilities gathered at Champlin Park High School (CPHS) for the first-ever Anoka-Hennepin District Unified Track Meet on Thursday, May 21.

Kindness is contagious: CPHS club advisor, Maia Miller, explained, “Students are very passionate about spreading Unified around the district and want other schools to start their own clubs. One of the ways to show them how was to host an event for them to see how amazing, fun, and easy it is.”

The vision comes to life: Student leaders and special education supporters from Anoka-Hennepin high schools were partnered with students with disabilities from their school to accompany them in the events by ensuring school spirit, belonging and participation. About 100 students from CPHS hosted the event, with approximately 30 additional students from Anoka-Hennepin high schools, including Andover, Anoka, Blaine and C**n Rapids.

Background: Champlin Park High School (CPHS) was one of four schools in the state to be named a Special Olympics Unified Champion School in 2024, demonstrating commitment to inclusion by meeting 10 standards of excellence; now there are 14. A Special Olympics Unified Champion School is recognized for its inclusive school climate and sense of collaboration, engagement and respect for all student body and staff members.

When it all adds up, Anoka-Hennepin Schools staff members are ONE of the many reasons that students achieve, delivering on our promise to educate each student for success.

The connections district staff make with students, families and community members make all the difference, and the work they do today will matter now and well into the future.

May 4-8, 2026 is being celebrated as Employee Appreciation Week across the school district. Thank you for supporting Anoka-Hennepin Schools in recognizing and celebrating the impact staff members make today, and every day.

May 4-8, 2026 is being celebrated as Employee Appreciation Week across the school district, recognizing the significant impact that staff at all sites make for students. You can join us in honoring, recognizing and celebrating school district staff! Consider a few ideas to show your appreciation:

• Encourage your student to share a handwritten note of appreciation for a staff member that impacts their days at school.

• Consider sending a staff member a simple email message to let them know that their work and the connections they make with your student matters.

• Share a smile, and/or tell a staff member how they make a difference for your student or your family.

• Get involved in your school’s Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) and see if there are ways you can volunteer or donate as a token of appreciation.
