Our Summer Program came to a fun (and delicious!) end today! ☀️
We wrapped up an amazing summer with a walk to the park, time on the playground, colorful sidewalk chalk creations, and lots of laughter with friends. When we made it back, everyone cooled off with ice bars—the perfect treat to end a wonderful day! 💙
Thank you to all of our students, families, and staff for making this summer so special. We hope everyone has a fantastic rest of their summer, and we can't wait to see everyone again soon! 🌞📚
