Unified Night Lights

The Kirkwood School District (KSD) held the eighth annual “Unified Night Lights” flag football event. This event recreates the excitement of a traditional football game night – an iconic event in American culture. Hundreds of students came together in a unified flag football event. In a unified game, people with and without disabilities play together – side-by-side – shoulder-to-shoulder. The philosophy behind the event is that sports help provide a path to friendships and understanding and help break down barriers. The inaugural event was held in September 2016 and some 200+ students participated in the event.
