Proud day for East Avenue student Kamrin! He earned his orange campus ID . An orange Id indicates that a student demonstrates independence by completing a single, short job task with visual supports, staying on track despite distractions, accepting feedback, and consistently following emergency protocols. Congratulations Kamrin and keep up the good work. We're so proud of you!

Our East Ave campus was buzzing with excitement for National STEAM Day! Thanks to Brooklyn Robot Foundry Rochester , each class explored circuits and built their very own “wigglebot” robot. The day was packed with laughter, learning, and lots of wiggly, whirring creations—proof that STEAM sparks joy and curiosity at every turn!

There's so much in the news about SNAP benefits today, and rightly so. But did you know that many in the Cariola Community families we serve, and even the staff that serve them, live with tremendous food insecurities not just now, but all year. While SNAP is drawing attention to the issue, food insecurities are real, every where, all the time. Consider making thise insecurities less for all. See the link to Amazon and the Cariola food drive. Thank you, and it's exactly what Mary Cariola herself would ask.
