SHINING STARS:
Celebrating Achievements

Bella has made a seamless transition to preschool, embracing this new chapter with confidence, curiosity, and joy. Her courage and adaptability inspire us all. We’re so proud of you, Bella—keep shining and showing the world your amazing spirit! 

Sage is speaking more than ever and can now say his full name in both English and Iñupiat! Watching him gain confidence and express himself so proudly is beyond inspiring. Sage, your words matter, and we are so excited for all the amazing milestones ahead. Keep shining!

Bo has made an incredible leap in his independence—at Christmas time, he needed hand-over-hand support to decorate his gingerbread house, but now he’s confidently spreading his own icing on his Valentine’s cookie! Watching his growth is truly inspiring. 

Keep shining, Bo—your hard work is paying off!

TJ is making big strides! He’s expanding his food choices, confidently riding the school bus and growing closer to his brother by talking more! On top of that, he’s thriving in virtual speech therapy. TJ, your growth is incredible, and we are so proud of you! 

Nnamdi showed true bravery and talent at SHINE’s Got Talent, performing a song in front of a full crowd for the very first time! Despite the challenges he faces, he stood tall, sang with confidence, and made both his family and SHINE incredibly proud. This wasn’t just a performance—it was a breakthrough. Shine on, Nnamdi!
