Our ASK Elves created a sensory holiday party for children with different learning abilities on December 12th. We had such a fun time with our winter games, dance and karaoke, arts and crafts, sensory quiet room and Santa’s snacks and presents. We extend our appreciation for all of the children, siblings and parents who attended- it certainly left everyone in the festive spirit!
