We will thrive and grow together at L.I.F.E. in 2026! Over the past few weeks, Pathways to Independence has been working on a special project together to learn about human values and perseverance. Each student colored individual coloring sheets, and each class worked together on group projects where the students used dobbers and markers to express themselves on butcher paper. We are very proud of all of the consumers and the hard work and effort they put into this project!
