Friendsgiving

Last Call for FRIENDSGIVING! You must have a reservation to attend. You can reserve your spot by contacting Melissa Reed. The event will be held in the Campagna Center dining hall on November 18th starting at 6pm central time. All food will be provided, and we will play BINGO with our children and staff. We hope to see you!

Halloween Fun

We celebrated the Halloween holiday on both campuses with a trunk or treat event. The kids really enjoyed dressing up and our guests loved spoiling them with many treats. Aside from the trunk or treat, the kids also participated in many activities including Boo Fest, a pumpkin decorating contest, Halloween movie night, and a boo hunt. It is such a joy to see all of the kids having a great time and indulging in a few sweets.
