We did it! ✨
Today we officially celebrated the opening of Polaris Academy at Dobson Ranch with our ribbon-cutting ceremony, and it was such a special and meaningful day.
We are incredibly grateful for the families, supporters, staff, donors, and community members who helped make this dream a reality. The love and excitement surrounding this campus has been overwhelming in the best way.
Take a peek at some moments from today’s celebration. We cannot wait to welcome the public tomorrow for our Open House and officially open our doors to more amazing families in the autism community.
