Trafalgar Middle School in Fort Myers, Florida, is set to receive a Special Olympics National Banner in recognition of its achievement as a Unified Champion School. This honor places Trafalgar Middle among only ten schools across the state of Florida that have earned this designation for 2024.

The banner will be displayed in the school's gym as a symbol of its commitment to inclusion and unified sports. More information can be found at the School District of Lee County's website.
