Thanks to Shaboom's Inc. for the wonderful End of Summer Party they sponsored for the Abilities First Autism Learning Center, recently. The food, games, volunteer helpers, family and fun were amazing! Shabooms Inc. is a nonprofit organization that raises money for college scholarships in recognition Sgt. Jimmy Robinson who was killed in Afghanistan in 2010.
The summer fun has begun with the Wednesday night Kids Connect social skills group. This week they visited the Middletown Arts Center and had a wonderful time. The group was able to see some pieces that will be included in the upcoming Annual Student Exhibition. They also spent time in the studio. One of their favorite activities was creating art work called Zentangled.
