Our young people and their proud families came together yesterday evening for our 50th annual Testimonial Dinner at the Carver Community Center. Each year, we recognize our YDP students, and we award financial scholarships to graduating seniors on their way to college and to current college students.
See our Facebook album here with all the event photos.
The evening began with a keynote address by alumnae Sarah St. Surin followed by an elaborate dinner.
