Let The Games Begin!!
"I am pleased to share that three schools in the Seminole County Public Schools have become active training sites for Special
Olympics. This partnership between the school district and Special Olympics is a great opportunity for our students and will
assist us to help these athletes to develop positive, healthy lifestyles. This is a great beginning and I look forward to seeing
our athletes enjoy all that participation in Special Olympics has to offer."
-Britt Smith, Executive Director, Exceptional Student Support Services
Schools
Young people are capable of conveying important information and helping to spread the message of the Special Olympics
movement. The Special Olympics Schools & Youth initiative is committed to increasing the participation of youth without
intellectual disabilities in Special Olympics activities by establishing school-based Special Olympics Programs and activities. In
addition, we invite teachers and administrators communicate the Special Olympics mission to their exceptional classrooms or
to incorporate sports training into the lesson plans and IEPs. Our volunteers are more than happy to attend IEP meetings.
Unified Partners
Unified Partners act as peers and compete along side our athletes on a team. As a Unified Partner, you are helping bridge
the gap between our athletes and the non-intellectually challenged community.
