It wasn't what it's always been, but it's exactly what it needed to be! Thanks to Angela Howe Creations for helping capture the magic of our final unified game of the year! Big shots, big moments, big laughs, and a whole lot of memories! The countdown to next year's unified season has already begun!

Unified week is here! We had a unified game at Jenison, we made signs in our Advisory classes to cheer on our athletes for the game on Thursday, we signed inclusion banners, and even took a few selfies!

We are excited for our 9th annual Unified Week, Special Olympics Michigan! The work that was started through our zLinks program at the HS campus more than 11 years ago, has shown the power of unified sports as these opportunities have worked their way down to our two middle schools and to each of our elementary schools in some capacity (in progress!). From going viral a few years ago when Jules Hoogland hit her shot during the unified game, to the daily work of showing up for those around us, we are committed to making sure that we continue to show how the power of inclusive sports and leadership opportunities, along whole school engagement, can pave the way for authentic and meaningful relationships for all students on our campus!

Wearing these shirts is a simple way for our entire community to show visible support and unity. T-shirts are white, and cost $10 to purchase. Please follow this link to place your order!

Thank you Angela Howe Creations for sharing these amazing pictures with us! The EMPOWER game has become an annual event that our students and families excitedly look forward to each year! The smiles, the high fives, the cheering, and the touchdowns give our community a chance to rally round a special group of students who deserve their moment! Thanks to our sponsors and everyone who came out to make this year's event another one to remember!
