"Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude." — Harry S. Truman

Today, we would like to take a moment to reflect and recognize all of the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom.

Please join us in congratulating two members of the St. Anne Institute Family on their recent educational accomplishments.

Overnight Residential Counselor Samantha Gowdy has graduated from SUNY Albany this past weekend with a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology – Pre Med! Balancing overnight work while pursuing a degree takes dedication, commitment, and perseverance.

Our Day Services Therapist, Nicole Blair, has passed her Master's of Social Work Exam and is now an LMSW! Nicole began her journey with the agency as an intern in 2023. Since that time, she has continued to impress us with her empathetic and skillful approach to trauma informed care.

We are incredibly proud of both of these women and recognize the hard work and dedication is has taken for them to achieve these milestones, they are truly an asset to our agency.

We would like to send a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making Tuesday night’s A Night in the Garden a success.

To our sponsors, Jim Larson, Alithia Rodriguez-Rolon and Jennifer JC Colletti, Tom Vacanti and Dove + Deer we couldn’t have done it without you. We are grateful for the kindness and generosity that you have shown, your support is truly priceless.

To everyone who attended the event, purchased plants and participated in our silent auction, please know that your contribution truly makes a difference in the everyday lives of the youth we serve. We are grateful that you believe in us and our mission.

To our staff, who volunteered their time, donated items or simply attended the event, it is your hard work and dedication that allows us to continue our work each and ever day.

Finally, to our youth who not only planted and nurtured every single plant but also helped to host the event, YOU ROCK!! We hope that you are as proud of yourselves as we are of you. You are the true reason we do the work we do.

Last week, during Teachers Appreciation Week, we took time to recognize the extraordinary dedication, care, and commitment of our teachers, teacher assistants, and all educational staff. The impact they have on our students and families can not be measured, and their efforts often go far beyond what is seen.

Our Director and Assistant Director of Education arranged lunch for the team handed out teacher appreciation stickers as a small gesture of thanks. While these tokens are minimal compared to the depth of the work our teachers, teacher assistants, and educational staff do daily, we were grateful for the opportunity to show our appreciation in a meaningful way.

To all of our educational staff, thank you for your patience, passion, and unwavering dedication. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for all that you do.

Happy Monday everyone! 😊
