Happy August, everyone! Our thoughts are with all of the parents doing back-to-school prep this month! Stay Strong!

  • Please help us recognize July's Perfect Attendance Awardees: Malcolm, Jayse, James, Tony, Eric H, Zachary, Ramona, Eric B, Machelle, Raven, Kyle, Mykayla, Ryder, Deshaun, Dana, & Shane. Great job, everyone!
  • Be sure to continue working on your apprenticeship classes in Relias. If you are nearing completion, let your House Manager know you are ready to start your competency.
  • As sad as we are to see Christian go, we still want to send him off in style. Please join us for his going away party at the Respite Center on Wednesday, September 23rd at 6pm. The theme is Elvis! Please dress up, if that's your thing.
