Westside Unified

The Special Olympics Unified Schools Program is a fast-growing initiative that brings students with and without intellectual disabilities together.

As Unified Champion Schools, we partner with Special Olympics Nebraska to implement a three-component strategy focused on Inclusive Sports, Inclusive Youth Leadership, and Whole-School Engagement. These three components bring students with and without intellectual disabilities together to promote a positive school climate, develop physical fitness, prevent bullying, enhance student engagement, and promote student leadership skills.

As a prior attendee at one of our Unified Activities, we wanted to make you aware of a fun upcoming opportunity. The UNO student-athletes will be presenting their Mighty Mavericks event on September 7th. Check out the flyer below for more information to see if your family would like to attend.

We are also looking forward to continuing our success in Unified Activities in the coming year and will be sending more information soon about our 2019-2020 activities.
