Jericho Continues to Expand Sports Program for Students With Special Needs

The Jammin’ Jayhawks basketball program has completed its winter 2010 season. This non-competitive sports program for students with special needs in the Jericho School District has been a resounding success. It was initially started by Alex and Nicole Ripka, both juniors in the Jericho School District, who along with their sister Danielle, a sophomore, organized a group of high school teen volunteers to play with and coach the special needs students in athletic clinics held at the Robert Seaman Elementary School. The program is proudly co-sponsored by the Jericho Athletic Association and SEPTA. The clinics are directed by an experienced adaptive physical education instructor and are open to students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The high school teen volunteers work with the special needs students in a one-to-one or two-to-one ratio.
