St. Coletta of Greater Washington

💥 Flashback to the 80s!

Last Friday, our St. Coletta family danced the afternoon away at our retro-themed end-of-year party! 🎶 It was a blast seeing everyone in their vibrant 80s attire—talk about a rad trip down memory lane!

We also took a moment to honor our incredible staff during the Years of Service ceremony. Our CEO, Michael Rodrigues, handed out well-deserved awards to those who've been with us through thick and thin. Your dedication means the world to us and our mission of empowering every individual! 💖

Here's to more fun and meaningful moments together!

🙌 A huge thank you to the DCPD Police Go-Go Band for their incredible performance at St. Coletta! Our students loved every moment of it. Go-go music, a genre that blends funk, R&B, and dancehall rhythms, filled our gym with joy and unity. Music, smiles, and community spirit – what more could we ask for?

A massive THANK YOU to our H1 & H2 education team, including teachers, therapists, paraprofessionals, and our fantastic students. The end-of-school season might be hectic, but that didn't stop our educators from sparking curiosity and joy through hands-on science activities. 🔬

It's heartwarming to see our students engaged and excited about learning. Their smiles say it all!

Kudos to everyone working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this happen. Your efforts are truly appreciated. St. Coletta is blessed to have such a passionate and dedicated team! 💖
