Before we get too far into an exciting summer of programming, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on and celebrate our Spring programs!

What an incredible season of learning, growth, and connection!

📚 Students in Let’s R.E.A.D. worked hard to strengthen their reading skills, build confidence, and develop a love of literacy through engaging small-group activities.

🌟 Students in Student Social practiced important social-emotional skills, built meaningful friendships, and enjoyed fun outings in the community that encouraged connection, confidence, and independence.

We are so proud of all our students and grateful to our dedicated staff, volunteers, families, and funders United Way Niagara and Ontario Trillium Foundation who made these opportunities possible.

Thank you for being part of another wonderful spring season at LDANR. We loved watching our students learn, grow, and thrive, and we look forward to seeing all that our students accomplish in the months ahead! 🌱☀️
