Step Inside Special Olympics at Rocketship Schools

This past school year, Rocketship Education in Santa Clara County got their first taste of the Schools Partnership Program! As pilot schools in 2014-15, three schools in the Rocketship program had Special Olympics at their school!

They hosted a basketball competition that was completely Unified! They also had skills competition! For the 2015-16 school year, Rocketship is adding one more school and adding soccer this fall! To see more about this partnership on Rocketship’s website, click here!

Rocketship even made a great video about Special Olympics in their schools!
