Spring Treasure Hunt

On April 15, volunteers from Altrusa International's local chapter helped our students celebrate spring with a festive treasure hunt.

Students searched for small toys and candy hidden throughout our center, with encouragement and assistance from The Birchtree Center's instructors and the friendly Altrusa volunteers.

This activity provided an excellent opportunity for our students to practice social skills such as interacting with new people, sharing toys, and saying "thank you." Thank you, Altrusa International, for your generous support of our students and programs!
