Leadership isn't just about your words. It's about the actions you take and inspire.

As Principal of Hillsboro High School, Dr. Carly Theis and her physical education team have embraced the ABLE Games mission, not only bringing our peer-to-peer fitness assemblies to their students, but participating alongside them.

Their commitment to inclusive physical activity is helping create a school culture where EVERY student can thrive, connect, and experience success.

"ABLE Games has ensured that every student, regardless of their ability level, has the opportunity to be actively involved as well as successful."

This is exactly why ABLE Games exists: to give every student the chance to compete, connect, and be celebrated. Thank you, Dr. Theis, for leading by example. 🧑

We hope everyone had a restful long weekend after what we know, for many, has been a busy first weeks back to school! πŸ‚

As students settle back into their routines, we're taking a moment to look back at one of our favorite parts of last spring: our ABLE in School peer-to-peer fitness assemblies!

These assemblies bring students together to learn, move, and connect through adaptive and inclusive fitness, building empathy and community one activity at a time. 🧑

You've made it through the first days of the school year! πŸ₯³ Let's head into the weekend with a few of our favorite ABLE in School moments educators have shared with us:

πŸŽ’ A student who is minimally verbal and on the spectrum has gone from avoiding classmates to fully joining in with them during PE.

πŸŽ’ A visually impaired student asked his school for balls with bells inside, so he could hear them coming and play right alongside everyone else. His teacher ordered them that week.

πŸŽ’ More than one school has said the sense of connection didn't stay in the gym; it spread into the hallways.

^ THIS is what inclusion looks like when it's built into the school day, not just added on top of it.

β€”

Happy weekend, everyone! Don't forget to grab your competition buddies and get registered for November 13/14 below. Volunteers, we'll have more information soon!

Yesterday, we shared a little about what ABLE in School is. But... what's inclusion through movement? πŸ‘€

For us, it's a genuinely important concept to understand. Because inclusion through movement means every student, regardless of ability, gets a REAL spot on the teamβ€”not just a seat on the sidelines.

It's not about slowing the game down or finding an obscure way to "include" the student. It's actually designing the system so that everyone can play it.

That's the idea behind both ABLE Games and ABLE in School. Because when kids move side by side, friendships form that wouldn't happen anywhere else in the school day.

So to our Fargo & West Fargo Public School friends on this feed, we hope you have an incredible first day at school these next two days, and we hope you'll never hesitate to include someone! 🧑

It's back-to-school week in Fargo! πŸŽ’πŸšŒ Did you know that the work of ABLE Games doesn't just start and end on competition weekend?

ABLE in School is a K-12 physical education approach built by TNT Kid's Fitness right here in Fargo, the very team behind the ABLE Games we know and love!

It pairs students with special needs alongside their classmates in everyday PE class, so that *every* kid gets to move, learn, compete, and belong together.

Yep, it's the classroom version of what you see at ABLE Games! No separate line, no separate gym. Just one class, moving together. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒ
