May/June 2018
Greetings!
The Walk for a Lifetime is over. (Don't miss the link to the gallery of hundreds of pictures in the Development Corner blog.) BUT the excitement is building at Spectrum360 with the A360 Upper School prom, graduations and moving up ceremonies at both schools, and our
2018 Spectrum360 Annual Meeting
right around the corner.
FilmAcademy360 and CulinaryAcademy360 are now accepting applications for their two week summer programs in the beginning of August. Here are links to the info about the
FA360 summer program and the
CA360 summer program. Don't miss these great opportunities!
Speaking of FA360, the 2018 Film Festival was a standing room only show with over 200 in attendance. Big thank you our event sponsors Pfizer and the Gagliardi family. Pfizer has been an amazing community partner this year.
Check out the short video they made about their experience working with our film students.
We're looking forward to a great Extended School Year Program (ESY) in July and of course all the regular activities at Independence360!
Happy reading,
Jennifer Miller
Public Information Officer / Family Liaison

Walking for a Lifetime of Learning and Support
Thank you to everyone who came out to Verona Park for our 6th annual Walk for a Lifetime! We raised an astonishing
$110,000 and counting to fund Spectrum360's many programs. The beautiful day made even better by the many smiling faces. Our story and photo gallery capture the day's highlights.

Read USA News and World Report's article on this rite of passage for individuals with ASD.
