Students from Ashbury Elementary, Carriage Hill Elementary, La Vista West Elementary, and Parkview Heights Elementary came together for a spirited Unified Kickball tournament on April 28, 2026, enjoying beautiful spring weather and the enthusiastic support of family and friends who turned out to cheer them on.

Unified Sports events create inclusive competition opportunities for students with and without disabilities to play side by side, fostering teamwork, friendship, and mutual respect. The kickball tournament exemplified these values, bringing together athletes of all abilities in a celebratory and encouraging atmosphere.

Events like Unified Kickball are made possible by the dedicated staff members who organize and run them, and the district extends its gratitude to all those who worked to bring the tournament to life. The presence of families and community members in the stands further elevated the experience, reminding students that their achievements are seen and celebrated.

Papillion La Vista Community Schools is proud to support Unified Sports programming as part of its broader commitment to inclusive education. These events go beyond athletic competition — they build community, break down barriers, and demonstrate that every student deserves the joy of playing together.
