During a recent Carmel City Council meeting, community member Sky Simpson was honored for his remarkable achievements and contributions to inclusion within Carmel Clay Schools. Described as the \"face of inclusion,\" Simpson has overcome significant challenges, including health and speech difficulties, to become a compassionate advocate for others. He has successfully run his own business, raised substantial funds for Best Buddies, and is a multi-medal winner in the Special Olympics.

Simpson is set to compete in the IPF Powerlifting World Open equipped championships in Iceland from November 11 to 16, where he will represent Carmel among 300 athletes, including 20 Special Olympic competitors. His father joined in celebrating his accomplishments, highlighting Simpson's role as a supportive figure for fellow athletes.

The meeting also featured a call to action from Council Member Dr. Joshi, who encouraged attendance at the inaugural Carmel Diwali celebration, inviting both council members and the public to participate in the cultural event. The council's discussions reflected a commitment to community engagement and recognition of local achievements.
