✨ A dream five years in the making is now a reality✨

Yesterday, we proudly celebrated the ribbon cutting of The Gaudreau Brothers’ Wings of Hope and The Chrysalis Corner Adaptive Playground — a space created to ensure that all of our students have the opportunity to play, learn, explore, and grow together.
