Barrier Free Track and Field

On Thursday, May 29th, students in the ISP programs took part in the annual Barrier Free Track and Field event held at Variety Village. The day was filled with excitement as students rotated through a series of inclusive and engaging activities, including lacrosse, fitness challenges, wheelchair basketball, sledge hockey, and dancing. The students were all smiles as they jumped into each activity, trying new things and cheering each other on. It was heartwarming to see classmates encouraging one another, celebrating each other's efforts, and sharing lots of high-fives and laughs—it was a day packed with movement, joy, and new experiences!
