Today, athletes, students, educators, and supporters gathered at the Michigan State Capitol for Capitol Day to share a powerful message: Inclusion matters.

For the past 10 years, state funding has helped Unified Champion Schools grow across Michigan, creating opportunities for students with and without intellectual disabilities to learn, lead, and succeed together.
