Tami Jo currently serves as the Assistant Principal at South View Middle School in Edina, Minnesota. She also has served the Minnesota Middle School Association as President and currently serves as MMSA’s Treasurer and State Conference Promotions Director. Over the last 10 years she has been fortunate to work with some amazing educators to bring the unified movement to their school.
Tami Jo first learned about Unified Champion Schools when Special Olympics Minnesota (SOMN) presented at the MMSA Annual Conference, and she knew immediately that they needed to bring this experience to their kids at South View. As soon as she returned home, she immediately went to their teachers and began planning. SOMN made it so easy for them to realize their dream! They hit the ground running and haven’t stopped. They love to share their story with others and are so proud of their students and school community. The Inclusion Revolution has changed them all for the better and has truly become the heart of the school!
