A fun and festive holiday pastime was celebrated today in both our Agawam- CBDS and Day Habilitation programs!

Crafting + Connection = The Perfect Holiday Combo!
Today, a fantastic group of elementary students visited our Casey program to create festive crafts and share some holiday cheer. The room was full of laughter and SMILES as everyone learned from one another.
Moments like these ...remind us how creativity brings people together in the best ways!

One of the best perks of being a Finley’s brand ambassador is getting to interact with amazing animals!
Our Three Rivers (Palmer) program loves every minute of this fun and furry experience- SMILES are always a guarantee.
Twelve Months of Christmas!
All year long, our programs have been crafting ornaments for our 12 Months of Christmas campaign -each one inspired by the places we’ve “globetrotted” to together.
Today, our PBS Committee brought all those creations to the Administration ...Christmas Tree, decorating it beautifully… and of course enjoying a holiday cookie swap!
A wonderful way to kick off the season!
