Students Include And Cheer On Special Needs Classmate During Basketball Game

September 24, 2019

Students at an elementary school in North Carolina made sure to include a classmate with special needs during a game of basketball.

A teacher at Topsail Elementary School captured video of a group of fifth graders playing with a third grade student from the school's special needs program.

The boys could be seen cheering for the boy as one student pushed his wheelchair forward. When his shot came up short, another child picked up the ball and dunked it for him. They then loudly cheered and high-fived him for the score.

"Some lessons can't be taught in a classroom," the school wrote as the caption for the video.
