We had such a great time at The Sammy Center’s Kids Carnival on Saturday 🎉 There was music, games, vendors, prize drawings, and - most importantly- a community that loves Maria Soter and the incredible school she had built.
The Sammy Center is a place where kids ages 3-5 can learn in an environment that meets them where they are and how they are. Maria is warmth, encouragement and and safety personified - and it’s easy to see why children thrive there. 💙

A big thank you to the Sammy Center for hosting us and for being a valued partner school with students
participating in the Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship. We’re grateful to be part of your amazing community!
