Welcome to L.E.A.R.N.!
L.E.A.R.N. STARS FLAG FOOTBALL:
This year our flag football season will kick off in July. We would like to invite all athletes who would like to participate in this year’s flag football program.
Last year, on our field at Sports Com, our STARS teams participated in weekly training practices in preparation for scrimmage games they played with other area Special Olympics teams. Our STARS team also joined other teams throughout the state and played three games at the Special Olympics State Flag Football Tournament. We had a great year and we are looking forward to the start of our 2010 season.
We hope to see you there! If you have any questions, please contact Tricia at tricia.lacy@learntn.org
GARDENING CLASS:
Our gardening class is underway and our veggies and herbs have been planted! It's not too late to join us as we will be working on the garden all summer. We will be weeding, harvesting and then selling the yummy organic vegetables and herbs. For more information email Dave at dave.davis@learntn.org
BEST BUDDIES COMES TO MURFREESBORO:
Exciting News: MTSU will begin a Best Buddies Chapter in the fall of 2010 and will form a partnership with L.E.A.R.N.!
The Best Buddies College program provides one-to-one friendships and social opportunities between college students and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Buddy pairs will maintain weekly contact via phone, email, letter, etc., and make two in-person visits per month (going out to eat, seeing a movie, shopping, playing video games, attending sporting events, etc.) There will also be social opportunities to have fun as a group such as picnics, dances and parties.
Best Buddies Mission is to establish a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Best Buddies was born when founder Anthony Kennedy Shriver recognized that people with Intellectual and developmental disabilities lacked opportunities to socialize with their non-disabled peers. Believing that friendship is key to building the self-esteem and essential to a happy and productive life, Anthony incorporated Best Buddies as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in 1989. Today, Best Buddies offers six programs: Best Buddies Middle Schools, Best Buddies High Schools, Best Buddies Colleges, Best Buddies Citizens, e-Buddies® and Best Buddies Jobs.
