On behalf of Student U, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended the ribbon–cutting ceremony at The W.G. Pearson Center Kitchen on Monday, September 23, 2024. Our community presence made the day memorable, and we’re excited to start this new chapter with such an incredible and supportive community.
For those who couldn’t join us, we don’t want you to miss out on the celebration. We’ve created a short video highlighting the event, which you can watch here. We hope it captures the energy, excitement, and the bright future this space represents for our community.
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment! Together, we are empowering students and families, creating opportunities, and fostering future leaders.
