We're excited to share some wonderful coverage of our recent Gatsby Casino Night Fundraiser in the Oyster Bay Herald!

A very special THANK YOU to Will Sheeline, Editor of the Oyster Bay Herald, for joining us on October 22 to cover and photograph our event, capturing some of the fun and excitement as our guests stepped back into the Roaring Twenties for an evening of casino games, music, delicious food, and fundraising for a very important cause!

We are so grateful to Will and the Herald for helping spread the word about Harmony Heights and the work we do to support young people facing emotional and mental health challenges throughout Long Island and New York City's five boroughs.

Community awareness and support are so important to our mission, and opportunities like this help us share the impact of our therapeutic and academic programs with a wider audience.

Thank you again to Will Sheeline and the Oyster Bay Herald for shining a spotlight on Harmony Heights and helping us share our story!

During our Staff Development Day on Friday, we were delighted to welcome back a very special member of the Harmony family, Samantha Scaturro, special education expert and founder of IEP Ally, LLC!

Samantha, who attended Harmony Heights 20 years ago, returned to lead an engaging and informative professional development workshop for our staff, focusing on how educators can look beyond individual IEP goals to identify and strengthen the underlying skills students need to succeed across all areas of their education.

Through thoughtful discussion, collaboration, and practical strategies, our staff explored ways to incorporate these skills into different subjects and activities, helping students build upon their strengths, develop greater independence, and make meaningful progress.

We are so grateful to Samantha for sharing her expertise and providing such a valuable learning experience for our team!

But what made this workshop especially meaningful was the opportunity to welcome Samantha back to Harmony in this capacity. Having once been a student receiving support here, she has gone on to build a career dedicated to improving educational opportunities and outcomes for students with disabilities.

We couldn't be prouder to count Samantha among our Harmony Heights alumnae!

Through her company, IEP Ally, LLC, Samantha partners with school districts and educators to strengthen special education practices, provide professional development, and improve student outcomes. She also offers speaking engagements and educational opportunities for students and families.

📧 To learn more about Samantha's work or inquire about a workshop, contact iepallyllc@gmail.com.

Thank you again, Samantha, for a wonderful morning of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. It's always a joy to see our alumnae thriving and making a difference in the world!
