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

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

🎒 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.

🎒 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.

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

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 team—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! 🎒🚌 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. 🏃‍♀️🏃

Already got your name on our list? Keep an eye on your inboxes this weekend! We'll be there with your special code soon.

Over five years, 658 athletes have stepped onto the competition floor with us. That number is incredible, but...

There's another one we care about even more. Nearly 1 in 3 athletes who came once, came back. And of those who returned, almost half made it a habit — three, four, five years running.

We love growth, and it's easy to celebrate. But return visits are harder to earn. They mean someone had a good enough weekend with us that they marked their calendars to come back again next year.

A community that keeps choosing each other, year after year. 🧡 We wouldn't trade it for the world.

🐣 Early bird sign-ups, keep an eye on your inboxes.

This has always been more than a weekend of workouts.

ABLE Games is a weekend of empowerment, opportunity, celebrations, hard working paying off, and showing up for yourself, but for each other.

It's more than a weekend. It's a glimpse at the world we're working to create on and off the competition floor together.
