“If a school district isn't using the Able™ In School curriculum they're making a mistake. It's built for you. It's going to take time away from you having to plan and it's going to do the very best thing we can for our Learners. It's a no-brainer to be using it!”
Dr. Cory Steiner, Superintendent Northern Cass School District, ND
“Able™ In School has given my class, and students, a new structure that has incorporated a positive attitude, spirit, and sense of community. This feeling has not only taken over our class, but has also reached into our school. All students, and honestly staff too, have found new friends and faces that they can have positive interactions with throughout our class and hallways. I have seen more smiles and high fives in the class, cafeteria, and hallways than I ever have before. This curriculum and style has brought not only a new level of fitness to our school, but also a new level of community. Thank you Able™!! “
Justin Spargo, PE Teacher, Roxbury Township School District
