Moments from The Big Hop 🎉

Earlier this month, we celebrated our 70th Anniversary by taking it all the way back to where our journey began, 1956!

The evening was filled with laughter, dancing, poodle skirts, and all the fun that made the 1950s unforgettable. Guests enjoyed hotdogs, popcorn, cotton candy, jello, and plenty of other classic treats.

From the costume contest to the hula-hoop competition, The Big Hop was packed with fun, memories, and community spirit. Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating 70 amazing years!

Thanks to DJ Rob Aitken Music Central Entertainment for playing music that took us back to the 50s. We are grateful to the Paul Seed Fund at London Community Foundation for its support of the live music for The Big Hop.

Thank you, 1 Breath Photography for capturing the moments!

"Sr. M.A.P. has provided me with resources to help me at school. Like practice worksheets and technology to do my work with tutors. There are always tutors ready to help me with questions. Lastly, the academic goals that I have set are really keeping me on track. Especially, because I constantly get reminders during check-ins"
