#HappyEarthDay from CPW! Last Friday CPW's BRIDGE School and Adult Day Habilitation program took part in a special Earth Day Celebration. We kicked things off in Harmony Park to cut the ribbon on two beautiful benches made of recycled plastic, the result of a combined effort across the agency to meet the Trex Plastic Film Collection challenge. The celebration continued into the gymnasium where Lisa Ferri and Wendell Rones from our recreation program hosted a special presentation: Plastic vs Earth. Vocal Groove wrapped up the event with several moving songs about the Earth's beauty, and an educational skit with their puppet friends.

CPW’s United Preschool Center (UPC) hosted its Annual Autism Acceptance Celebration today as part of National Autism Acceptance Month. Families and friends joined the UPC students and staff at today's beautiful celebration which included the unveiling of the Tree of Friendship and Acceptance, a collaborative art project, an outdoor parade in the sunshine, and a performance by UPC music teacher Mark Pethtel, a musician and teaching artist from Shake, Rattle & Roll. Our beautiful Tree of Friendship and Acceptance was on display, designed and created by the students for all to admire. Butterflies were “purchased” through donations by family and friends to be hung on the tree on display in the UPC lobby. Teacher Donna Hysler led the design and decoration, and students from each classroom customized flowers to help the tree spring to life.
The United Preschool Center (UPC) located in White Plains offers an integrated learning experience for children with and without disabilities. Program administrators collaborate with various school districts throughout Westchester County, and UCP is an authorized Universal Full-Day Pre-Kindergarten program site for the White Plains School District.
