Description
The Unified Discovery Clubs aims to promote inclusion in the school. Our club plans social outings once a month like going for ice cream, playing mini golf, and going to SHS sporting events together to promote inclusion in the community. 

What does our club do?

• Promote friendship through sports, leisure activities, and social gatherings for students with and without intellectual disabilities. 

• Give students a space that is welcoming and inclusive to all young adults. 

• Create a sense of community for students with and without intellectual disabilities. 

• Bring people together in a welcoming and inclusive environment that gives people with and without disabilities a sense of community. 

• Provide a fun and exciting environment where all people can enjoy sports and social activities. 

• Develop leadership and skill development in inclusivity for students with and without intellectual disabilities. 

• Promote a healthy social and emotional lifestyle, fitness, and wellbeing for everyone in the school community. 

“Special Olympics Unified Schools promote social inclusion by building friendships and understanding among young people with and without intellectual disabilities. Using sports as a motivator and springboard, Unified Schools offer a range of activities and training that equip young people with the interpersonal tools, skills, and attitudes to foster confidence and acceptance in sporting events, classrooms, and communities.” -SpecialOlympics.org
