Six Chicopee Public Schools students recently had the opportunity to take part in the first Students of Color Leadership Conference at the Education First Building in Cambridge!
Representing Chicopee High School were Daniel Butten Furtado, Jayden Davis, and Jabari Flowers, while Trinity McCarthy, Shawn Carter, and Jeriah Wade represented Chicopee Comprehensive High School.
Throughout the conference, students heard from a variety of speakers, including Robert Lewis Jr., Danae Bucci, Kathy Lopes, Adam King, Craig Aarons-Martin, and Tiffany Sanders. Presentations focused on leadership, wellness, sportsmanship, and community service, providing students with valuable perspectives and opportunities for growth.
Director of Athletics Sean Mackin accompanied the students to the conference, supporting their participation in this opportunity to learn, connect, and grow as leaders.
Yesterday, Chicopee High School and Chicopee Comprehensive High School took part in a Unified Basketball Jamboree, alongside Unified teams from several other local cities and towns!
Unified Sports brings athletes with and without intellectual disabilities together on the same team, demonstrating how training and competing side by side can build friendships, foster understanding, and create meaningful connections. The jamboree celebrated inclusion as athletes from all participating teams showcased their skills, supported one another, and celebrated each other's successes on the court.
