The Acadia S.M.I.L.E. Program INSIDER December 2016 Fall Semester Wrap-Up A s per usual, the start of S.M.I.L.E. this year was exciting for all of those involved! A few particular sessions stood out this term though. Tuesday and Thursdays are always fun but one week that was particularly so, was their Halloween themed days! Participants had the opportunity to test their fear, place their hands into mystery boxes and feel all of the gross stuff inside or get their picture taken as Frankenstein in a photo booth. Buzz Lightyear (or someone dressed up as him) even went for a swim with the participants in the pool! In This Issue: Fall Semester Wrap-Up Rotary Club Donation Shoot, Score, S.M.I.L.E.

Return Dates 4 Friday Night S.M.I.L.E. and S.M.I.L.E. for Adults had the opportunity to head over to Noggins Corner Farm, where they tried their best to not get lost in their corn maze, enjoyed songs and ate s’mores around a campfire, and braved their haunted house. This is an annual trip for these two program days and it is always a highlight of the Fall semester! Saturday S.M.I.L.E. kicked off the year with a Disney themed morning! Instructors, leaders and participants all came dressed as their favorite Disney characters - from Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, to princesses galore - everyone looked incredible in their costumes. The participants helped create a group masterpiece as well, as they individually contributed to a painting based on the Pixar movie “Up”! Needless to say, we are so excited for S.M.I.L.E. to start up again in the Winter semester and are looking forward to all of the highlights to come! Page 1 THE
