Back to School at Emerge!
Here are a few sweet snaps from the first month of therapy and school here at Emerge. The children are adjusting nicely to the new year and knowing that the Pennington family has been a huge part of that success through the years absolutely warms my heart. Thank you for helping to make moments like these possible!
