WAREHAM — Superintendent Dr. Matthew D’Andrea is pleased to share that students from Wareham Public Schools recently participated in Unified Game Day, a spirited celebration of inclusion, teamwork and community hosted by Tabor Academy in partnership with Special Olympics Massachusetts.
Held on the Tabor campus in Marion, Unified Game Day brought together Tabor student-athletes and elementary and middle school students from the region for a full day of athletic challenges, connection and joy.
This year, 24 students from Wareham Middle School and a large group from Wareham Elementary School joined the event alongside other local schools engaged in Unified Sports and Special Olympics programming.
A cornerstone of the day is its partnership model: each Tabor Academy student-athlete is paired with a young student for the entirety of the event. Together, they rotate through sports stations offering a variety of games and drills designed to foster movement, cooperation and fun.
“It was nice to see so many families come to cheer on their student as well as the other students,” said Meghan Costa, special education teacher at Wareham Middle School. “It was an amazing experience for all!”
The event celebrates the power of inclusive sports to unite students of all abilities in a shared spirit of achievement, respect and friendship.
“This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to engage with peers from other communities in an uplifting and empowering environment,” said Superintendent D’Andrea. “We are so grateful to Tabor Academy and Special Olympics Massachusetts for continuing to host this incredible day.”
