The Unified Sports Basketball Team is getting ready for their Staff/Student Game on November 15th. Unified Sports is a program designed to increase inclusion in the school community by breaking down barriers that have historically separated individuals with and without intellectual disabilities on the playing field. Unlike the Special Olympics, Unified athletes and their peers compete side by side in varsity athletic competition. The Special Olympics has recognized MHS as a National Banner School. All elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges in the country are eligible for this honor, and only 200 have been selected. We currently compete against local high schools in basketball, bocce, and track & field. We are also one of the only high schools in the state to offer unified courses during the school day. We currently have students enrolled in co-taught Unified PE, Music, and Art courses. Mansfield is the gold standard for how Unified programs should be run and we want to recognize the following people: Basketball-Dave Rosa, Chris Fong, Kerri McCluskey Bocce-Chris Hall, Kerri McCluskey Track and Field-Melanie Collins, Kerri McCluskey Good luck to everyone!

Roland Green Preschool celebrated AAC Awareness Month by encouraging students and staff to wear their words and showcase the power of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our goal is to promote awareness of the multiple ways individuals can communicate using AAC and to inspire discussions about communication diversity. When we wear our words, we are illustrating that everyone has the right to a voice and there are numerous imaginative ways to communicate. We encourage you to take part in making today both enjoyable and significant by getting involved and inspiring others to do so as well. Let's proudly showcase our words and raise awareness for AAC together!
