We can’t believe how fast March is flying by! It’s been another fun, full week and our groups have been staying busy, active, and creative. Our respite and habilitation programs are going strong, and it’s been great to see everyone so engaged.

Our Saturday group had an awesome time at the Renaissance Fair—such a fun and memorable outing for everyone! 🎉

We also got creative with Kathy during a sewing activity and made bucket hats just in time for summer ☀️🧵

Site B continues to impress—finishing another book, making it FOUR books completed so far this year! 📚👏

We even mixed in a little STEM fun with an Egg Drop experiment… and let’s just say there were some very creative designs! 🥚🚀

Coming up: we have a fishing trip scheduled for Tuesday the 31st at Rose Canyon Lake 🎣

Be sure to keep an eye out for our email with next month’s calendar—we’ve got more fun ahead!

The first week of March has been an exciting one and has definitely set the tone for what our spring is going to look like with more time outdoors and plenty of fun activities ahead.

We’re keeping the momentum going next week as we head to Sabino Canyon for the first time in a while. It’s always a great spot to enjoy the scenery, get some fresh air, and spend time together.

Our latest newsletter just went out, so be sure to check your email for all the updates and upcoming plans! We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

We kicked off the day at Reid Park and made the most of the fresh air and nice weather. A little time outside and seeing the ducks made for a great start.

Later on, our members stopped by the new Savers at Craycroft & Broadway and it did not disappoint. It was a fun change of pace.

It was a full day, but a good one. We’ll be sharing our full weekly update later this week!

Just a little glimpse into our week. We’ve sent out our March newsletter, and we’re looking forward to a wonderful month together! We have two hiking days coming up, we will be checking out some new local spots, and we will also have a picnic at Agua Caliente Park!

As the weather warms up, please ensure your member has a water bottle, hat, and sun protection so we can make sure everyone is healthy, safe, and comfortable! Thank you all for the support 🍀

**Huge shout out to Moses for taking some of these amazing images!!!

Our Saturday respite group is enjoying Tucson’s beautiful weather today at Agua Caliente Park.

This group spends their Saturdays exploring wonderful local events and hidden gems around town, and today was a perfect opportunity to be outdoors.

We have also rolled out our Monday and Tuesday respite groups, which have been a great addition to our evening groups, such as our Thursday fitness habilitation group and our Friday respite movie group.

These respite groups provide parents and guardians with extra time to get things done, with peace of mind knowing their members are safe, supported, and engaged. Groups run from 4:00 PM–6:00 PM.

If you are interested in signing your member up for a group, please contact bdodge@mscservices.org for more information.

We hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Friday!

We’ve had such a wonderful week, and we ended it on a truly fun note! Today, we welcomed Pawsitive Friendships at the site and had the pleasure of meeting Hadley, a beautiful Bernedoodle. Our outing group enjoyed listening to Latin American music at Music in the Courtyard, and we wrapped up the day with our Valentine’s Day party!

Our members especially loved the piñata—it was so much fun seeing everyone with huge smiles on their faces. We will definitely be sure to have another piñata at our next party!

Our weekly newsletter was sent out earlier today. We also want to remind everyone that we will be open on Presidents’ Day, February 16th. If your member uses SunVan, please double-check their rides to ensure both drop-off and pick-up are scheduled for the site.

We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! 💛💜
