Rogers Park Middle School students in Danbury had the opportunity to participate in Unified Sports Soccer this season.  Due to the overwhelming support, the program will continue at least through the end of this school year. 

The school will next offer basketball followed by track and field. This season there were 11 student athletes on two teams.  The athletes will present to seventh- and eighth-grade school assemblies and share their experience. 

Unified Sports is a registered program of Special Olympics that combines approximately equal numbers of athletes with and without an intellectual disability on sports teams for training and competition, matched by sport skill ability. 

Broadview Middle School has participated in Unified Sports for the past 17 years, and last year was named the Unified Sports Michael’s Cup Middle School of the Year.
