Are you planning to watch the Super Bowl? No doubt we’ll see lots of examples of excited fans and stories about how the players must work together to win the game. As a Special Olympics Unified Champion School, we work together and cheer for one another. Take a few minutes this month to talk with your child about teamwork:
- Talk with your child about a time you were a member of a team. How did teamwork make the group stronger? Has your child been on a team? What was the experience like?
- The letters in “team” just happen to stand for “Together everyone achieves more.” Talk with your child about how that saying applies to school.
- Have you heard about Fans in the Stands? This program encourages students and families to attend a local Special Olympics event. Does this sound like something our family could do together to have fun and make a difference?

Gratitude /ˈɡradəˌto͞od/ (noun): the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and return to kindness.
It's always a good time to show appreciation and kindness!
- Does your child have a teacher, see a reading/math tutor, go to DEEP, enjoy recess, eat lunch, ride the bus, loose teeth, call home, or receive help from an adult at school?
- Has an employee at the school done something to help make your child's school experience a little better?
