UNIFIED SPORTS

The amount of smiles and cheers were the moments that made the night special and memorable.” -Hannah Christianson

Elmbrook’s Unified Sports program had its first ever two games this past December and January! Unified Sports is an inclusive sports program in which students, both with and without intellectual and/or physical disabilities, are brought together to work as a team, form new relationships and compete in a friendly environment. The teams have played for packed houses between the Brookfield Central and Brookfield East Boys and Girls basketball games. The program was spearheaded by Brookfield East Sophomore, Hannah Christianson.
