Today our K–12 students had a great visit from Garrett with Eagle Mount! He shared about the organization’s programs and the many ways they create opportunities for individuals with disabilities to get involved in outdoor recreation and stay active. Students even got the chance to try out a sit ski, giving them a hands-on look at how adaptive equipment makes skiing accessible for everyone. Thank you to Garrett and Eagle Mount for an engaging and inspiring presentation!

On March 21, people around the world wear bright, mismatched socks to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. The date (3/21) represents the three copies of the 21st chromosome found in people with Down syndrome, and socks were chosen because chromosomes can resemble socks. The Absarokee Unified Club invites you to rock your socks and celebrate inclusion!

The design features bold black and orange text, a cartoon husky wearing mismatched orange and black socks, and a background pattern of colorful socks, highlighting a fun and inclusive way to raise awareness and celebrate differences.

Absarokee Junior High and High School had a fantastic week celebrating Inclusion Week with dress-up days organized by our Unified Club! The week was full of school spirit, laughter, and a strong reminder of the importance of inclusion in our school community.

Unified Club is part of the Unified Champion Schools program through the Special Olympics. The club works to promote inclusion, build connections, and create a sense of belonging for all students. It was wonderful to see so many students and staff participating and showing their support throughout the week.

Thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make Inclusion Week such a success!

⛷️❄️ **First Ski Day Success!** ❄️🏂 Absarokee Elementary students had an amazing first ski day of the season at Red Lodge Mountain! Our students spent the day learning to ski and snowboard with the help of the fantastic instructors at Red Lodge Mountain. From first turns to big smiles, the kids worked hard, learned new skills, and had an incredible time on the mountain. We are so proud of their effort and positive attitudes while trying something new! A huge thank you to the instructors, staff and volunteers who helped make the day such a great experience for our students. We can’t wait for ski day #2! ⛷️🏔️😊
