๐ŸŽญ Transition students take center stage through community volunteering!

Our Transition students recently had the opportunity to volunteer as ushers at the Paramount Theatre for the Mean Girls show! ๐Ÿ’—

From welcoming guests to helping create a positive experience for theatergoers, our students gained valuable real-world work experience while being active members of their community.

Weโ€™re so proud of their professionalism, enthusiasm, and willingness to step outside the classroom and learn through hands-on experiences!

A big thank you to the Paramount Theatre for providing this wonderful volunteer opportunity. ๐ŸŒŸ
