Dear Students, Families, Faculty, Supporters, and Friends,
Thank you for helping Project STEP complete an amazing 39th season! We recently wrapped up a successful end of year Spring Recital & Parent Benefit featuring and celebrating all 57 of our students—from our very youngest, all the way up to our most experienced.
While last year was a year of transition, this year has been one of boldness, resiliency, and risk taking for our students. This has also been a year full of loss, success, struggle, and ultimately, of perseverance. I applaud all of you for putting in the time, energy, and hard work. And special congratulations to our 2 graduating seniors who will be heading to college in the fall— Dalilah to New York University and Christian to Furman University!
