Pathlight visits the State House

This summer Pathlight took a trip to Boston for the reception of the This is Me: Portraits of Pathlight project on exhibit at the State House. We got a behind-the-scenes tour of the building, including the balcony! Check out more photos from the trip on our Facebook.

Accessible garden fundraiser

Come grab a seat, enjoy the weather and smell the newly planted flowers in our custom raised garden beds! The Gardening class had a blast bringing them to life. Thank you to our generous donors who made our accessible garden and outdoor area a place for all students, parents and caregivers to enjoy!
