Rio Rancho Elementary School held a banner presentation Friday to celebrate the school being honored for meeting national standards of excellence in the areas of inclusion, advocacy and respect by Special Olympics and ESPN. RRES was one of five schools nationwide to receive the honor — and the only elementary school. The banner was from Special Olympics Unified Sports, a strategy creating sports, leadership and whole school engagement opportunities for students. The result is a school environment that promotes inclusion and respect for all.
