Summary
The Monroe School District recognized Jockey Hollow and Massic Unified Sports teams as Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools and announced a $5,000 donation from the Rotary Club to expand elementary Unified Sports programming across the district.
The Monroe School District recognized Jockey Hollow and Massic Unified Sports teams for earning the Special Olympics Unified Champion School designation and thanked coaches, athletes and community partners for their inclusive work.
District leaders described the designation as requiring consistent participation in Unified sports, inclusive youth leadership opportunities and whole-school engagement through at least two schoolwide activities per year.
