Growing, Stretching, and Laughing Our Way to the End of the Year

June 13, 2018 BY Kelly C. Bawden, MS, CCC-SLP

It wouldn’t be June without our annual End-of-the-Year Party at the Kennedy School, and so party we did on Friday night! As a group of clinicians and support staff who work in different settings and at work sites spread across 5 different states, it is always delightfully fun to come together in a common space. We spent the evening thinking about growing (with a succulent potting station), stretching (with our amazing balloon artist, Jim), and laughing (at the hilarity of it all), celebrating the end of another successful school year and the beginning of what we hope will be a lovely summer.

 

We also honored the following clinicians with our annual awards in recognition of their tenacity, bravery, and hard work over the last 9 months.
