🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM SWEETSER 👻
Our administrative building in Saco got a video game-inspired makeover for Halloween! From Super Mario and Pac-Man to Madden NFL, Sonic the Hedgehog, Minecraft, and The Legend of Zelda, our staff brought some gaming favorites to life with creative decorations!
The best part? Welcoming students from Sweetser`s Special Purpose School, residential program, and crisis unit for some trick-or-treating fun! 🍭 It was a wonderful opportunity to share some smiles, sweet treats, and Halloween spirit with our students.
A big thank you to our staff who went above and beyond to make this a fun and memorable celebration for everyone! 🧡
