The first Wednesday in March is Global Choose to Include Day. This global movement is a part of the Special Olympics and Unified Sports Program. On this day, people from all over the world take a pledge to Choose to Include because individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID), a group made up of over 200 million people representing every country, belief system, sexual orientation, gender expression, race, and ethnicity, continue to be excluded and isolated from their peers in schools, workplaces, and communities around the world. By taking the Pledge to Include and by acting for meaningful inclusion, you can combat the hurtful and dehumanizing effects of exclusion. Respectful and inclusive words and actions are essential to the movement for the dignity and humanity of people with intellectual disabilities. You can support schools and organizations in your communities in their efforts to spread inclusion. In 2023, Spread the Word >> Inclusion is going all in on building a more inclusive future for everyone. If you can join the movement and #GoAllIn by going to https://www.spreadtheword.global/resources and signing a virtual pledge card.
SCCS Unified Sports will be hositing a Spirit Week March 1-7, 2023. We encourage anyone who wishes to participate to do so!
