Our Work Based Learners group at PREP took over the Fowlerville library this week for a well-deserved “Slice of Success” pizza party! 🍕✨

These learners have worked incredibly hard all year, mastering new vocational skills and crushing their work-based learning experiences. We kicked things off by reflecting on our growth and setting big goals for next year—then wrapped it all up with pizza, awards, and cookies! 🏆🍪

Because every STEP learner has a personalized schedule tailored to their individual goals, these young men don’t always get to see each other during the day. That made this lunch catch-up extra special! It’s awesome seeing our learners enjoy each other's company and stay connected, no matter how busy their schedules get.
