Lakeside Elementary - Longhorns

In a heartwarming celebration of unity and inclusion, CISD middle and high school students in the Transitional Pathways, Structured Learning, and Active Learning programs came together for an exciting athletic event. Organized by Kristen Yarborough, Tosha Salerno, and Taylor Mounce, with support from Coppell Special Olympics representatives, these students teamed up with their peers for a friendly bocce ball competition they've been practicing for all year. As part of the CISD Unified Sports initiative, the event provides an opportunity for students to compete alongside their peers, promoting inclusion and fostering a sense of belonging. Coppell ISD's dedication to Unified Sports has earned the district recognition as a Unified Champion School, strengthening bonds both in the classroom and on the field. With basketball next on the schedule for the spring, this is just one of the many ways the district continues to champion unity through sports.
