As time draws nearer for our annual, much anticipated, Sabrina Love Ocean Challenge, our youth at Die Sterreweg are stepping in and preparing the beautiful medals for all of our finishers. The youth are tasked with measuring and cutting the ribbon, threading it through our very special medals and then tying them off.

With Summer fast approaching, the days are getting warmer and we are able to spend more time enjoying the wonderful weather and out side play. Sitting in a classroom on a very hot day can lead to a little bit of frustration from our children. So what does our resident occupational therapist, Tasha-Leigh do? Hot weather = COOL WATER!

It has been just over one month since our beautiful therapy room has been renovated and upgraded. Both our children and staff at Die Sterreweg love spending time in this special corner. The Snoezelen room (controlled multisensory environment room) has been a huge asset to the therapy and has benefited the children in so many ways.
