โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž What a day! Our PALS U Summer Fun Day was packed with laughter, music, food, and plenty of summer fun!

Individuals from both PALS KC and PALS Blue Springs came together to enjoy yard games, karaoke, tie-dye, and time with friends. There were some serious karaoke stars in the crowd and lots of colorful creations at the tie-dye station!

A big shoutout to 2 Guys and a Grill for serving up delicious hamburgers, while our individuals made side dishes to complete the feast.

Most of all, thank you to our amazing staff. Events like this don't happen without the people who show up every day with energy, patience, and a commitment to making sure the individuals we serve have opportunities to learn, connect, and have a great time. We are so grateful for all they do!

Here's to sunshine, friendship, and making memories together! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŽค

Today, we celebrated a very special milestone at the Rainbow School as we honored our 3 graduating students! ๐ŸŽ“๐ŸŒˆ

For two of our graduates, this moment was especially meaningful as they have been part of the Rainbow School family since preschool. Watching them grow, learn, and achieve so much over the years has been incredible.

One of the most touching moments of the day was their legacy walk through the school halls โ€” surrounded by cheering staff, classmates, and memories from the place theyโ€™ve called home for so many years. ๐Ÿ’™

We are so proud of each of our graduates and cannot wait to see all the amazing things ahead for them.

Congratulations, graduates! ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿš—๐Ÿฅฌ Monday Produce Pickup with Paul! ๐ŸŒฎโค๏ธ

Every Monday, Paul Macy helps pick up CDDโ€™s weekly produce donation from Kanbeโ€™s Markets.

Each week, Paul assists with transporting and unloading 200โ€“300 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables that help stock the CDD Market for residents and staff. This weekโ€™s donation totaled an impressive 215 pounds of produce!

After the produce pickup, Paul enjoyed lunch at a new Mexican food truck in the area. ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿ˜‹

Thank you, Paul, for your hard work, dedication, and willingness to help others. Your support makes a meaningful difference each and every week! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š
