Special Olympics Hosts Student Summit for Inclusion


Special Olympics held a summit at Newburgh Free Academy for Division 9 to share ideas about how to make their school more inclusive. Rondout Valley, Beacon, Wappingers and Arlington attended. The schools worked in groups to share what districts around the state are doing to make their schools more inclusive for all students! NFA has a Youth Activation Committee (YAC), that plans inclusive events for our school. The group has students with and without disabilities. NFA has two Unified Sports teams, made up of students with and without disabilities competing and earning Varsity letters. NFA also has a Special Olympics Unified Team for Bowling and Track and Field. Anyone wishing to join a club can contact, Ms. Baines, Ms. Briggins or Ms. Puleo at Main or Ms. Bender at NFA North. The Newburgh participants from the summit are excited to put their own twist on what they learned at the Summit. Watch out for future events.
