We've had a busy July here at The Guild! This month, adults enjoyed a seaside vacation and students participated in summer Friday field trips. We also hosted cookouts and celebrated Disability Pride Month.Read on for more news from The Guild:
Adults Set Sail!
Earlier this month, adult residents with The Guild took a sailboat ride while on vacation in Mystic, CT! Other activities this month included hikes, craft workshops, and trips to Canobie Lark Park. View more photos here!
Students Have Fun in the Sun
All month, Guild School students have been staying cool with water games outside. We kicked off the month with an Independence Day cookout at our campus in Concord. View more photos here!
Employment Services Hosts Financial Literacy Fair
The Guild School's employment services department recently held a financial literacy fair! Students had the opportunity to budget and plan for their dream vacation. In the final station, students got the chance to take a picture in front of a green screen with their destination in the background! View more photos here.
Happy Disability Pride Month!
July is Disability Pride Month! Disability Pride is celebrated in July because this month marks the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. Did you know that the first Disability Pride Day was held right here in Boston?
When asked by teaching staff what having a disability means, students replied with "Being awesome!" and "You are unique." View our social post here.
Students and Caregivers Connect Through Quilting
This spring, The Guild School's counseling department rolled out an online expressive arts therapy program for parents and caregivers, Quilting Connections, in conjunction with Lesley University's Clinical Mental Health Counseling cohort. The program, which met across four weeks, provided parents with tools to connect with their children via Zoom. Read more about the program on our blog.
