This week at Gateway, we witnessed something truly special. Each gift that was wrapped for our students was tailor-picked by their dedicated teachers, ensuring that every present felt uniquely personal. The effort and care poured into this process were inspiring. What warmed our hearts even more? The generosity of the amazing volunteers who gave their time and talent to wrap these gifts. Your kindness reminds us of the power of community—of coming together to make a difference. To everyone who supports Gateway in big ways and small: thank you. It’s your spirit of giving that enables us to do what we do. Here’s to building an even stronger, more compassionate community together. #WrappingPresents #Community #MarylandNonProfits Emilie Aguilar Erin Lamb Steve Dassoulas Lauren Dorris Jimmy Grem Daniel Grimaldi John J.

In “The Jerk,” there is a scene where Steve Martin is jumping around excitedly because the new phone books arrived. Just like him, I'm giddy with excitement over our new building signs. As Steve Martin's character says, "The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!" After years of working on the name change and branding project, all I can say is “The new signs are here! The new signs are here!” Thanks to East West Sign Group LLC , Ashton Design , and all the others who made this happen. Emilie Aguilar Jeff Rives Jenny Hoffman
