Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the great work of the Special Olympics. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting with Special Olympics athletes from Souderton Area High School, a Unified Sports school. Schools that participate in Unified Sports pair students with and without disabilities to promote inclusion through a shared love of sports. Athlete Kevin Lezynski and his unified partner Jon Booz stopped by my office recently to share their experiences with the Pennsylvania Special Olympics. The Special Olympics is a fantastic organization representing more than 5 million athletes that teaches the value of good sportsmanship. Because of the Special Olympics, individuals with intellectual disabilities are given opportunities to not only strengthen their physical fitness, but to strengthen the lifelong friendships made with fellow athletes along the way. I would like to wish Kevin and Jon the best of luck in their future competitions, and to all of the other brave Pennsylvania Special Olympics athletes and their Unified Sports partners. ____________________”
