Respect Week Announcement- Morgan and Shelby Brannon, Maggie Oaster
Speak Now, Speak Up Era
Today, we celebrate day one of Respect Week 2025! We are in our Speak Now, Speak Up! Era learning about Fragile X Syndrome. Fragile X affects 1 in 4,000 females and 1 in 8,000 males in the U.S., making it the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability.
Fragile X affects people’s behavior and ability to learn and retain new information. About ⅓ of those with Fragile X also display signs and symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Today, how can you Speak No and Speak Up for your peers? When you see someone being inclusive, be sure to let them know you saw it. Send a note, text, smile or fill out a Make a Difference letting them know that you appreciate them and how they helped someone feel included.
In Illinois there are five official Unified sports through Unified Champion Schools, bringing athletes with and without disabilities together. Those sports are: basketball, soccer, dance, track and field, and bass fishing.
