Shore opened its first Cambridge location yesterday, expanding our therapeutic school programming beyond the Henry Owen School in Chelsea. The new site, at the former Cambridge Friends School in North Cambridge, has opened with three programs serving students from early elementary through high school.
In partnership with @cambridgepublicschools , Shore is launching a therapeutic classroom for students in kindergarten through grade 2.
Shore`s SAIL middle school class will also move to the new Cambridge location. SAIL - Social/Emotional and Academic Individualized Learning - supports students who benefit from the structure, small class sizes, and clinical support that Shore provides.
Shore`s Harbors program has expanded to Cambridge as well. Harbors serves middle and high school students whose needs have interfered with their ability to attend and engage in school, with the goal of re-engaging them in their education through highly individualized instruction and support.
"Everything we`re opening in Cambridge is built around one goal: helping students build the skills to succeed in school and beyond. Being in Cambridge lets us do that work alongside more of our member districts, and gives more students the opportunity to attend school closer to home. We are grateful for the opportunity to open classrooms in Cambridge, and excited about the possibilities the future holds in this city." said Kristin Shaver, Executive Director, Shore Educational Collaborative.
Shore selected the Cambridge site for its room to grow, aiming to serve more students over time.
Shore Educational Collaborative enrolls students through referrals from the student’s home school district. School districts interested in referring a student can email referral@shorecollaborative.com.
Our Adult Services golf lessons are in full swing!! We have been hitting the driving range with Golf For All again this year. Our Woburn, Peabody, and Chelsea sites meet up every 2 weeks to practice. This is a favorite outing for many, including the staff. It`s always nice to spend a day outside enjoying the warm weather and working on our swing.
Today, we welcomed back our Student Services staff and we head into the new school year! This year’s theme was “Band Together”, a reminder that we do not walk this path alone.
Our crew had a blast with posing for the paparazzi, forming their rock bands, choosing their debut hit singles, creating their album covers, taking their band photos, and hitting the karaoke stage.
We are so glad to see our halls full! What a great start to the new school year!
This week we celebrated our 3rd annual Open House at our Woburn Adult Services location. The staff set up many outdoor games (Basketball, adapted bowling, bean bag toss, etc.), a water play table, and a wander through water sprinkler - which was great for keeping people cool. In the afternoon, there was an outdoor Karaoke party, and many participants sang and entertained an enthusiastic audience, which included many family members. They also enjoyed treats from an ice cream truck.
