Our Employment Prevocational programs teamed up once again with SUNY Polytechnic Institute Psychology professor, Dr. Joseph, and her students for our annual collaborative project. This year, we joined forces to volunteer with Sleep in Heavenly Peace - NY, Utica, an organization dedicated to making sure every child has a bed to sleep in.
Together, the college students and our program participants worked side‑by‑side, drilling, sanding, hammering, and staining each piece of wood. Every station contributed a part of what would become a complete bed for a child in need. By the end of the day, 20 beds were fully built and ready to be donated to local children.
It was a meaningful, hands‑on experience that everyone truly enjoyed.

One of our Utica New Discoveries Preschool Classrooms held its annual Beary Good Reader program throughout the month of March. Students and their families were invited to share reader slips for every book read at home. The classroom hosted guest readers who shared favorite stories that were also added to the tally. The month ended with a celebration that included t-shirts, spring-themed snacks, and a total of 158 books read as a class!
