The spirit of celebration was alive and well as all five SAIL programs came together for a special WinterFest Dance. Held at a shared community space, the event offered students and staff a chance to connect through music, movement, and joy. From festive outfits to upbeat tunes and endless laughter, the afternoon was a true highlight of the winter season.
With a focus on inclusion and student engagement, the WinterFest Dance demonstrated the power of shared experiences to build community across classrooms. The smiles, the snacks, and the unforgettable dance moves were more than just fun—they were a celebration of belonging.
