RISE Center, Tuscaloosa

Back-to-School Ice Cream Social!

The sweetest way to kick off a new school year! We loved celebrating with our RISE families and making memories together. Here’s to a great year! ❤️🍦

First day, best day! ☀️

We are SO happy to have our children back at RISE! 🥰 Seeing those smiling faces back in our classrooms makes our hearts happy. Here’s to a wonderful year full of learning, growing, making memories, and lots of fun! ✨

It’s going to be a GREAT year at RISE Center! 🎉

Three days of professional development = a whole lot of learning, planning, teamwork, and getting ready for an amazing new school year! 📚✨

We are so proud of our RISE staff for investing these days in growing together and preparing to make this the best year yet for our students and families. ❤️

A special THANK YOU to Alabama Softball Coach Murphy for spending time with us, encouraging our team, and sharing valuable team-building strategies. We are taking those lessons with us as we head into a new year! 🐘🥎

Here we go, RISE! We’re ready! 💙

A big thank you to Nick's Kids Foundation for your continued support of RISE Center and our RISE & Shine Play Group! ❤️

We had a wonderful time at yesterday’s Nick’s Kids Luncheon. We’re incredibly grateful for your partnership and the difference you make for the children and families we serve. Thank you!

There’s something extra special about Shining Readers at RISE. ✨📚

One of our favorite traditions is welcoming RISE graduates back into our classrooms to share their love of reading with our current students. Watching former students return with confidence, kindness, and a story to share is a beautiful reminder of how far they’ve come.

Thank you to all of our Shining Readers for inspiring the next generation of RISE students. Your visits brighten our classrooms and our hearts! 💙

“We Tried. We Learned. We Shine.” 🎓✨

Today we celebrate our incredible Class of 2026! We are so proud of each of our graduates and all they have accomplished during their time at RISE. Watching them learn, grow, and shine has been an honor.

As they begin their next adventure at “big school,” we know they will continue to do amazing things. Congratulations, graduates—we can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish! ❤️🎉
