Yesterday was Jeremy's first day of work at the Splash Pad. Fun fact - Jeremy has been a student at JPII Center since he was five years old. We have watched him move up through the classrooms and grow into a fine young man. He loves drawing and making comic strip stories. He is very creative and kind. Congratulations, Jeremy!

This is our third summer running the Splash Pad at Maple Spring Swim Association. We embarked on this adventure three years ago, hoping to learn and get ready for Special Blends Cafe by JPII. This program welcomes students, graduates, and adults to work with the proper support they need to be independent and successful. The program is part of our extended school year program. Today was our first official day of summer work. In all honesty, it is just super fun and hands-on.

Giving back always yields a profoundly positive experience. On Monday, we visited Allan Myers and had the pleasure of sharing refreshing lemonade with everyone. Fostering relationships within our community and with our supporters holds significant importance.
