Last year we were pleasantly surprised how many kids fished the whole time. That said we know some students may wish to do other activities. We will have at least one non-live fish-based activity and will be adjacent to the park playground. We encourage your family to join us for as much or as little of the experience as you are comfortable. Teachers will also be working to provide planned partnerships for students with and without an intellectual disability.

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.
