The Apollo high school basketball team honored one of its greatest fans. Ross Evans was given a basketball jersey with the number 6 on it. Honor him as the 6th man on the court, always cheering his team on to victory. Ross is a senior at Apollo and he is the Eagles biggest fan.
This story really won me over. I think it is amazing when we as students and educators find ways to incorporate everyone regardless of any differences. Many schools and students are in need of this type of interaction. There is such a divide between "normal" and "exceptional" students. I believe programs that incorporate both types of students is very beneficial. Students are able to see that there are not really any differences between them, they are both students looking to reach a higher education. I wish that you would hear more of these types of stories now a days. Making students feel "normal" can be the most beneficial way of helping them reach their goals.
