Dear Keller Families,
This morning, we are hosting an all-school assembly to celebrate and recognize Keller earning the designation of being a National Unified Champion School from Special Olympics. A National Unified Champion School is a K–12 school recognized by Special Olympics for fostering social inclusion among students with and without intellectual disabilities. The program is built on three core pillars: Special Olympics Unified Sports, Inclusive Youth Leadership, and Whole-School Engagement. Institutions that meet 10 national standards of excellence—by actively coordinating all three pillars, maintaining a representative student-staff leadership team, and ensuring long-term sustainability—earn the top distinction of National Banner recognition. We are immensely proud of the hard work and dedication shown by our staff and students. Together, they have created an environment where students can succeed and have truly made our school a better place.
Lastly, the start of second trimester has been a success. A huge thank you goes out to the families for all you do to prepare your child daily to be at their best at Keller. Your support is crucial, and we are grateful to partner with you. Have a wonderful weekend and BEAR DOWN!!!
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our front office staff or me. Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and support and we will work “TOGETHER AS ONE” to ensure the success of our students.
Regards,
Tom Barbini
Principal
