The UNIFIED Basketball Game took place today at Mt. View School, bringing students together for an exciting and meaningful event centered on teamwork, inclusion, and school spirit. Students from our MD program took to the court with enthusiasm, supported every step of the way by their 4th and 5th-grade Buddies.
Both on and off the court, the Buddies played an important role—encouraging their teammates, celebrating successes, and ensuring everyone felt included and confident. The game was filled with smiles, cheers, and moments of true sportsmanship, highlighting the strong sense of community within our school.
Students across the building were able to be part of the experience. Our PreK–2 classes watched the game through a live televised link, while students in grades 3–5 attended in person, alongside parents and staff, creating an energetic and supportive crowd.
Events like the UNIFIED Basketball Game provide valuable opportunities for students to build friendships, develop empathy, and learn the importance of supporting one another. It was a wonderful display of collaboration and kindness, and a great reminder that everyone plays an important role on the team.
