Awesome in Action had a fun day at Polaris Expeditionary School with the Elementary grades during their Wednesday afternoon assembly last week!

I loved watching the kids sing at the end of the assembly! 

The students at Polaris were extremely respectful and did a great job participating in our Why Try? Assembly as Nick helped kids learn how to stay positive and reach for all of their goals!

We had a great Question and Answer session after the assembly with full participation from all the grade  levels, and great respect to each other and to their presenters!

Laughing and singing along!

The team at Awesome in Action is so excited to make a connection with an amazing charter school in Fort Collins!

The ADA Symposium – A National Experience

Back in June, Nick and the AiA team were fortunate enough to be welcomed as an

exhibitor at the National ADA Symposium, held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Denver.  How lucky that it was held in Denver this year!  Next year, Chicago will host the Symposium.

We saw advanced technologies, feats of engineering, and met educators, business people, designers, counselors, government folks, and most of them had some disability.  Yet here they were, changing their own situations and the lives of others.

“beach wheelchair.”  He is fairly sure it will come in handy during triathlons and other water fun!

 

Connecting with new friends and reconnecting with old, we had a most amazing conference!!
