Special
Olympics Pennsylvania – Philadelphia’s Interscholastic Unified Sports (IUS)
Youth Summit on June 10, 2015 was a huge success! Athletes and partners
represented a few of our IUS Philadelphia schools, and they all did a great job.
Many things were discussed during the day, and the athletes and partners had
talks about what they enjoyed about the IUS program, as well as what can be
added to make the program run smoother. Both
the athletes and partners had fun while participating in the program, and they
also made lifelong friends in the process.
They started
the day by listening to two guest speakers and then split into different groups
to work on team-building and ice-breaking exercises. The ideas that they gave us for next year’s
IUS program were awesome, and we can’t wait to see if we can put them into
practice. The energy and excitement that everyone had while participating is
what really made this IUS Youth Summit such a huge success. Hearing from the kids who are directly involved
with the program gives us a great opportunity to upgrade the program for the
future. We would like to thank everyone
who came out and spoke or helped. We
would also like to extend a huge thank you to The School District of
Philadelphia for its hospitality!
