Inclusive Schools Week
The Hollis community celebrated Inclusive Schools Week in a big way, with themed dress-up days, special guest speakers, and classroom activities that brought students together to encourage and practice every Hollis Habit: Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, Empathy, Perseverance, and Self-Discipline.
The week culminated in a wheelchair basketball game, led by BlazeSports America, an organization dedicated to providing children and adults with physical disabilities the chance to play sports and live healthy, active lives. After watching an invigorating game among BlazeSports athletes, several students were given an opportunity to join in alongside them! Following the game, they all enjoyed a luncheon, during which they became more acquainted with each other and reminisced about the week's engaging activities.
When asked by a BlazeSports America team member to identify ways in which we are the same, one kindergarten student replied, "We are human."
