Amherst Learning Center was excited to welcome Shannon Wolfe and her Learning Center students from CEC for a fun-filled day of connection and community.
The day kicked off with bowling and a pizza party, where students got to make new friends and share some laughs. A special highlight was a visit from our friend Jacob Melanson, who stopped in to cheer the students on while they bowled. The students were thrilled to meet him and even got some great photos together!
Later, the group enjoyed a walk through the heart of Amherst, meeting local shop owners and chatting with friendly faces throughout the community.
It was a day full of friendship, fun, and unforgettable memories. We’re so glad we could all share it together!
Go Vikings!
