Over 200 high school students of all abilities gathered at Champlin Park High School (CPHS) for the first-ever Anoka-Hennepin District Unified Track Meet on Thursday, May 21.

Kindness is contagious: CPHS club advisor, Maia Miller, explained, “Students are very passionate about spreading Unified around the district and want other schools to start their own clubs. One of the ways to show them how was to host an event for them to see how amazing, fun, and easy it is.”

The vision comes to life: Student leaders and special education supporters from Anoka-Hennepin high schools were partnered with students with disabilities from their school to accompany them in the events by ensuring school spirit, belonging and participation. About 100 students from CPHS hosted the event, with approximately 30 additional students from Anoka-Hennepin high schools, including Andover, Anoka, Blaine and C**n Rapids.

• Encourage your student to share a handwritten note of appreciation for a staff member that impacts their days at school.

• Consider sending a staff member a simple email message to let them know that their work and the connections they make with your student matters.

• Share a smile, and/or tell a staff member how they make a difference for your student or your family.

• Get involved in your school’s Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) and see if there are ways you can volunteer or donate as a token of appreciation.
