Magic Bakes by Seojin: 

A Sweet Success

We are delighted to share the success of a recent initiative by Seojin Jeon, one of our DDartists (Artists with Developmental Disabilities).

Seojin launched a handmade cookie project, which made its debut at the Fort Lee Outreach event on May 3. The response was overwhelmingly positive—all 50 boxes of cookies sold out during the event. The warm reception is a testament to the care and dedication Seojin poured into every batch and the generous support from the community.

We extend our sincere thanks for your continued interest and encouragement. Your support plays a vital role in empowering young artists like Seojin to grow with confidence and purpose.

We are pleased to announce that the Chance Makers Panel Discussion will be held on May 23.

Our student leaders have taken initiative in every stage of planning and preparation for this event. Over the past several months, they have engaged in meetings, coordinated with panelists, and overseen the overall program development. As the date approaches, they are completing final rehearsals and logistical checks with great diligence and commitment.

The event will welcome 220 middle and high school students and nine distinguished panelists. More than a one-time gathering, this discussion represents a meaningful educational experience, designed and led entirely by students, offering them the opportunity to take ownership of their learning and leadership.

We look forward to showcasing our students' outstanding efforts on May 23. Your support and encouragement mean a great deal as they prepare for this important day.
