Samantha Holdredge's Physical Education class turned the gym into a winter wonderland at our East Henrietta Campus! Students worked together to build the coolest igloos—showing off teamwork, creativity, and some seriously impressive building skills. These moments were snow cute, we couldn’t resist sharing! ❄

(HAWAII) It may be cold and gray❄ in Rochester, but it’s still Walk Shirt Wednesday!

Our Walking on Sunshine Volunteer Coordinator Dave Patanalla found the rays… all the way from Waikiki Beach! 🌺🌴🏄 Okay, maybe he’s rubbing it in—but mostly he’s reminding us that sunshine is everywhere. Mark your calendars for Walking on Sunshine 2026 -September 20, 2026, Veterans Memorial Park in Penfield.

Sunshine guaranteed! 😎

Great food, great service, great conversations… it could only be the Cariola Café! In our final café of the year, Jack and Mariana put their kitchen skills into action. Jack proudly mastered the can opener for the very first time, while Mariana baked delicious corn muffins. Both welcomed guests and served hearty Chicken Chili. And the cookies? Festive molasses treats with frosting, shaped like trees to celebrate the season. A perfect recipe for joy, learning, and community-- made possible thanks to our incredible Transition Team, who guided and supported students every step of the way! 👨🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳🍲💙💛😋
