This past Thursday, Thomas McKean High School sent a team of 8 students and 2 staff members to the Special Olympics Delaware - Unified Champion Schools Leadership Conference where we were able to connect with and learn from other Unified Champion schools and plan our Spread the Word Inclusion week in March. Our students also learned about mindfulness, teamwork, and even got started on planning more monthly inclusive events at McKean!

And the best part: our former President of our Unified Club was the keynote speaker!
Congratulations Hayley Ferrara!
