The Graduate
Update from Program 302
Summer’s here and everyone at Program 302 is thrilled to celebrate this young woman’s graduation! Yes, she earned her Certificate of Achievement! This could not have been accomplished without the dedication of all the staff in Program 302. Due to your praise and guidance we got her through her last year of school and helped her achieve her goal.
On July 18th we celebrated her 18th birthday with Taco Party in the residence. She fought this celebration with verbal grumblings of “another party,” but the sparkle in her eyes told me that she was happy to have most of her staff attend this birthday celebration. Did I mention tacos? That was the second-best part of the evening – the first was celebrating and socializing with all the amazing people in Program 302.
We have come a long way as a program and as a team over the last 2 years. We have been working to change our thought patterns and the style in which we support our individual. I know it hasn’t been an easy adjustment, but everyone has shown a wonderful dedication to this program and for that, I thank you.
