Last January at Cedar Creek Elementary School (CCES), physical education teacher Ciara Barriger, and Emma Collins and Brianna Jensen of the CCES Special Education department, started a Unified PE program.
The Unified PE program fosters inclusivity by bringing together students of all abilities to participate in physical education classes. Unified PE promotes social interaction, teamwork, and physical fitness through cooperative activities and sports. Since its start, the program has been a tremendous success, creating a positive and supportive environment where all students can thrive and develop lifelong skills and friendships.
To celebrate the first year of the program, the students went on a bowling field trip to Tasty Pizza Bowl in St. Francis.
