Graduate Spotlight! Congratulations, Hailey!

"Over the last two years, it has been a privilege to watch ​Hailey grow into a confident, resilient, and thoughtful young woman. She is an exceptionally talented writer, a loyal friend, and someone who genuinely cares about the people around her. While she is never afraid to speak her mind and stand up for what she believes in, she has also shown tremendous growth, maturity, and wisdom along the way. We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and excited to see what the future holds for her. Congratulations, graduate! ❤️🎓" - Dr. Kelly

Nothing beats an afternoon slushie! Thank you Ms. Beth for the refreshing treat 🥳

Our girls had an amazing time at an expressive art workshop with AR Workshop Winter Haven! 🎨Through creativity and connection, they practiced emotional regulation, strengthened interpersonal skills, and explored healthy self-expression. We are proud of their willingness to learn, grow, and support one another as they create something uniquely their own.

It's Ms. Julie, Development Manager's 9th Pace Anniversary! Let's all wish her a happy anniversary! We are grateful for your hard work and dedication to our mission. ❤

Week one of Summer Session is in the books! From hands-on learning activities and guest speakers to field trips, our girls will have an incredible summer.

To help keep these experiences going, we're collecting school supplies through our Amazon Wish List. Thank you for your support!
