It’s almost here! We can’t wait to see all the CE families at the Holiday Market on Friday 12/5.
Check out the fun activities you can look forward to:
-Choir performances by our amazing students at 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM
– Local small-business vendors
– Free hot chocolate
-Make-and-take art projects
– Food trucks with tasty options
We will offer a quiet, sensory-friendly experience from 4:30–5:00 PM. During this time, lights will be lowered, noise will be minimized, and the environment will be intentionally calm to better support individuals who benefit from reduced sensory input.

Needing Help Is Human

December 5, 2025
From the Empower Youth Network
During the holidays, many families lean on meal support—it’s how we care for each other. If you or someone you know is feeling a bit more stretched this season, local resources are here to help. Reaching out can feel difficult, but it’s also what connects us and strengthens our community. Needing Help is Human.
