McKinley Students Attend Unified Sports Day

Many McKinley Eagles participated in the annual “Unified Sports Day” as part of the Iowa Special Olympics on Thursday. Dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition, Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. More than 600 special and regular education students from 18 schools across Central Iowa paired up for a day of friendly competition. They participated in 3-on-3 basketball, bocce, golf, pass-punt-kick football, relay races, volleyball and more. More pictures are available on the McKinley Facebook page: McKinleyDSM.
