Champions Together Trainings Update
- Becoming part of Champions Together does not necessarily mean your students have to "compete" against other schools?
- Team sports are not a requirement, either. You can begin with Unified PE or a fitness club within your school. The picture at right is from Brownsburg's biking club.
- Special Olympics has a new point person to work with Champions Together in the Middle, Tori Cox. Tori is reaching out to some of our schools with explanations and opportunities to learn more about the program.
- An important feature of the program is that it is student-led, student-empowered.
- AMLE just featured this article about a middle school in Minnesota and how Champions made them a part of the "Inclusion Revolution." We feel that our Champions participants in Indiana would also be worthy of being featured!
- We now have trainings scheduled at Brownsburg East, Rochester, Lowell, and South Ripley. If you are interested in participating, even if these dates (listed below in the calendar) will not work, or if you have any questions, please contact Tori.
