Happy New Year!
The first month of the New Year came and went in a flash! Here are some highlights we wanted to share:

- We launched a 6-week inclusive afterschool program at Falmouth Elementary School! Students spend an hour after school engaging in fun, team building activities!
- We kicked off the Horizons Ski Program at six mountains in Maine. This is our ninth year running the program!
- We hosted another Paint Along with great success! A fun afternoon spent with wonderful families.
- The Best Buddies Citizen Program joined us for a night of climbing at EVO Rock + Fitness!
- The Ecology School joined us for a Mascoma Bank Nature Series program day teaching folks how plants and animals survive through these cold temps!
- Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Maine Celtics game! It was so fun to be the featured nonprofit!
- We received a generous Autism Community Impact Grant from the Doug Flutie Foundation, supporting the Horizons Ski Program & Horizons Summer Camp! Thank you for supporting these great programs!
