🐰A Very Special Visitor on Campus! 🌸
We had the sweetest surprise this weekend, the Easter Bunny hopped onto campus to spend time with our individuals! 💛

A big thank you to a local college student who volunteered her time to bring smiles and a little Easter magic to everyone’s day. It took a few of our individuals a moment to warm up (as meeting a giant bunny can be a big deal! 😄), but before long, the smiles said it all!

And the fun didn’t stop there… Duke, one of our employees’ dogs, joined in on the celebration, dressed as a chicken! 🐶🐔 He definitely stole a few hearts (and a few laughs, too).

Thank you to KDSN Radio for inviting us to be on their morning talk show with Hank and Mick! We enjoyed sharing information about New Hope and our upcoming Quilt Auction!

Stacey Vonnahme and Cindy Neil with New Hope Village in Carroll, an organization that provides residential and vocational support to help adults with disabilities, stopped by the morning show today to talk about their upcoming Quilt Raffle.

They even brought in an AMAZING quilt they said “fit radio perfectly"! Full show below.

🐢🐾 𝘼 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙒𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙩 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙚!🐾🐢
Last Friday, something pretty special happened when we brought everyone together. 💙Individuals from both our campus and community programs gathered in the Activity Building (which doesn’t happen often these days!) for an unforgettable visit from Blank Park Zoo.

We met a Burmese tortoise and a chinchilla, learned all about them, and even got hands-on with taxidermy specimens of a tortoise flipper and tiger fur. 🐅 And the best part? For a full hour, the room was calm, curious, and completely engaged.

These are the moments we’re all about—unique experiences, shared connections, and opportunities that truly enrich lives. Programs like this don’t just happen—they’re made possible through the generosity of our community and events like our upcoming Quilt Auction. Your support helps us create meaningful, memorable moments like this. 💙

💚 Prairie Rose Doubles the Fun! 💚
Our Prairie Rose group kept the St. Patrick’s Day spirit going with another scavenger hunt! They tried their luck spotting all four hidden icons. ☘️ 🌈 💰 🧝
From green sights around town to solving riddles and celebrating together, it was all about fun, friendship, and community.
We’ve loved sharing these moments from all of our homes, what a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day together! 🍀
📸 Take a look at Prairie Rose’s lucky finds!
