Regardless of how many times I’ve attended Vista Life Innovations, Inc. graduation ceremonies over the years, I can honestly say that it remains one of the most rewarding events I get the privilege of being a part of.

Its so heartwarming to hear the stories of personal growth and development from each of the student’s thanks to the support they’ve received from their families and the staff at Vista Life. These relationships help students navigate public transportation, learn to prepare meals, make healthier food choices, laundry, and assist with job placement.

Today, the Hunter Bird, Christopher Thomas Fasano, Catherine Golder, Jack Kalver, James Lynch, and David Collin Rees transition from the Discovery program into the next phase, the Engage program, where they will live independently in the surrounding community. As they begin this next chapter, I’d like to wish them continued growth and success as they move forward.
