With grateful hearts, we welcomed families to our second annual Grandparents & Cherished Friends Day at Educational Pathways Academy, a private school for students with dyslexia and learning disabilities in Florida. This joyful tradition celebrates the remarkable people who walk alongside our students: grandparents, beloved relatives, family friends, and mentors whose care and encouragement make a lasting difference in their lives.

Across both of our campuses in Estero and Naples, students welcomed their loved ones with heartfelt presentations of poems and songs that reflected their appreciation and love. Students and their special guests participated in fun activities together, created meaningful keepsakes, and enjoyed sweet treats.

One of the most beautiful moments was seeing students proudly share their world, introducing teachers and friends, showing their work, and celebrating their growth and progress. The smiles and pride shared between students and their families were truly special to witness.

At our North Campus in Estero, guests also enjoyed the ACES Marketplace, where student creativity was on full display. Handcrafted items from our Art Career Education Studies (ACES) Culinary Arts and Jewelry Fabrication classes, along with artwork from our Studio Art class, gave visitors the opportunity to experience and celebrate the talents of our students in a special way.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this celebration and for the love and encouragement our families provide each day. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated faculty and staff, along with our Pathways Parent Association volunteers, whose care and effort helped make this day so welcoming and memorable for all.
