Nearly 1000 students from 15 Jordan District Elementary Schools enjoyed some fun in the sun at Unified Field Day at Riverton High School. Students showed off their throwing arms in a softball toss, ran a 50-meter dash, and leaped in a long jump event.
Unified Field Day is part of the Special Olympics Unified Sports program, which promotes social inclusion through sports. The Unified Sports program brings together special needs students and their peers to participate in sports together to build camaraderie. Thank you to Kip Lambert at Destination for providing team shirts and to all the volunteers who made this a memorable day for these wonderful students.
