Rhinebeck Bank
This week on Rhinebeck Bank's latest video series, Michelle Barone-Lepore featured Greystone Programs Inc, a school dedicated to supporting children, adults, and families living with autism and other developmental disabilities by enriching lives one person at a time. Their after-school programs and other programming have been integral to several people who need additional support they can trust. From a parent of a child in the after-school program: “The people who work here - you can see that the people who work here really enjoy what they do. It’s not just a job.” Michelle also interviews an older child, who expressed his feelings about Greystone: “I met a lot of new friends here… It’s about how people treat other people… Everyone gets along together.”
Watch the 2-minute episode here.
