Sometimes Tuesdays feel like the forgotten day of the week. We all know (and sometimes dread) Mondays for being the start of the school and work week, Wednesday is hump day, Thursday is almost Friday, Friday is almost the weekend, and Saturday and Sunday get their fair share of love.

We unfortunately had to say goodbye to some of our delightful students today, but we also said hello to some new groups as they began their
It was a gorgeous day today, full of sunbeams and smiles, in Brunswick and for all of our amazing Apogee trips! So many opportunities to try something new while grinning radiantly from ear to ear.

Much like the heroes in beloved Disney movies like The Incredibles or Mulan, our students are crushing it in the field.

It truly was a Sunday Fun-day for Apogee today! All across the map our students had a blast being outdoors and making new friendships & memories.
