Unified Sports to Begin in Lester Prairie





Article Written By: Rebecca Hintz, Lester Prairie Public Schools

The school is starting a Unified Bowling team from Lester Prairie this fall.  Unified sports takes students who are in special education and pairs them with students in their mainstream class to form a sports team.  The goal is to help for peer relationships, defeat intolerance and build confidence for everyone.

Special Olympics of MN pays for the program.  There will be two practices after school and then have a competition during school hours with several schools from around the state.  

Everything is free of charge thanks to Special Olympics of Minnesota.

Practices will be held Tuesdays: October 13th and 20th.

The Unified Bowling Invitational is Wednesday, October 28th.
