On this #ThankfulThrowbackThursday, we were wanted to express our gratitude again to the amazingly fantastic Saratoga Independent School students. The SISC (Cares) initiative has been a wonderful partnership. Everyone had so much fun playing Bingo...even more laughs were heard with the pumpkin carving escapes! These students provide such a boost of young energy while garnering invaluable empathy - which is oh needed.

It’s #Twosday y’all and we are so proud that our Creative Endeavors Art Program has 2 collaborative pieces selected to be in the juried 2023 Fall/Winter Art Show at the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts! “Enchanted Road” was painted by artists from our Clifton Park Day Program and “Weary Dreams” was painted by artists from Room 7 at our Wilton Day Program.
