TNT partnered with Fargo Public Schools to implement the Explorer Academy in North Dakota s, the first K-8 special education day school with integrated project-based STEAM and gross motor program opportunities. We strive to support the whole child by embedding social-emotional learning in all facets of their educational experience. True to TNT s nature, we added adult year-round fitness programs and designed a competition for individuals with special needs to compete against their peers. It wasn t until our President & CEO, Kim Pladson, met with Fargo Native and NFL NY Jets center Connor McGovern to design, brand, and include all athletes to compete side by side! 2021 was the inaugural year for ABLE Games which was comprised of 75 teams: 150 athletes, 200+ volunteers, and hundreds of spectators over the two days cheering on the athletes!
