In November, 200 Best Buddies, Life Skills students, and staff members came together to celebrate our annual inclusive Thanksgiving feast. Earlier in the week, our Life Skills students went food shopping at Wegmans to prepare. Together, staff, Buddies, and students made all the food, handled the decorating, set-up, and cleaned-up. It was truly 200 reasons to be grateful, and one incredible Friendsgiving to remember!

Two Upper Merion Students Honored at Statewide Bus Safety Poster Contest
Congratulations to Josh Morgenstern (3rd grade, Roberts) and Olivia Cullison (5th grade), who were recognized today in Harrisburg for their outstanding artwork in the 2025 Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Bus Safety Poster Contest!
Out of more than 315 student entries from across the state, Josh earned 2nd place in his division and Olivia earned 3rd place. Both students created imaginative and thoughtful posters centered on the theme of bus safety.
They were each presented with a trophy and a framed award certificate in recognition of their achievements. We’re so proud of their creativity and commitment to safety!
