Birchtree’s name change reflects our organization’s recent growth to serve a wider community beyond our day school. You can read all about it on our blog: https://birchtreenh.org/now-birchtree/.

Happy National School Nurse Day to the wonderful Nurse Laurie!

Birchtree is so lucky to have you, Nurse Laurie! Thanks for being our healthcare hero and for everything you do to maintain health and wellness across our day school.

Our students have been having a blast during weekly Dance/Movement Therapy sessions this spring with Alexis Reale! The room is filled with joy as students and staff engage in movement, explore rhythm, and connect through shared expression.

Beyond the fun, dance and movement are powerful ways for our students to stay active and express themselves. It’s more than just physical activity - it’s a powerful tool for building confidence while promoting self-regulation, supporting nonverbal communication, and fostering meaningful social connection.

We're grateful for a generous donation from Marylou and Robert Blaisdell for allowing us to welcome Alexis Reale as Birchtree's Artist in Residence this spring.

Speaking of staying active... Our 2026 Wellness Challenge is in the home stretch! We are 89% of the way to hitting our fundraising goal, and we are feeling the energy to reach it this week! 🏆💪

Want to help us get across the finish line? We are gratefully accepting donations through Wednesday, May 6. Every bit of support helps us keep these incredible programs moving!
