This past Fun Friday, our East Site opened the doors to the East Cafe!🧋

A tradition our students look forward to each year, they used their tickets and oB Bucks to purchase their smoothie flavor of choice. Our BRIDGE students worked the stations throughout the fun Friday, practicing teamwork and customer service skills. Also enjoying a smoothie of choice in the process!🩷

This past Saturday, we held our annual Dress Extravaganza event alongside .clt 💙🩷

Thanks to incredible community support, we were able to distribute 100+ prom dresses, including 50+ casual dresses and 60+ pounds of both makeup and jewelry to feel ready for their special night 💃

To us, what stood out the most was the joy in the room. As students tried on dresses, and began to picture their prom night. Moments like these are why we do what we do.

We’re grateful for the partners who continue to show up:

for providing Life-Aid kits to families!
clt for leading important conversations around prom safety, consent and peer pressure
And Atrium community health workers for hosting a hands on make up tutorial for our students
