Hi All…..just got back from montana from my first off grounds visit with Nick and thought I would let you all know how things were at SCL. First of all….my visit was great…spent most of the time in Missoula shopping, movies, dinners, hanging out with my kids for the first time in 10 months…..I have to say that I am quite pleased with my decision to send Nick to SCL. He is the same boy for sure, but he is full of pride, very grateful and actually had no complaints about the program. What I noticed most was how he actually takes good care of himself and his belongings. He is also very insightful and fairly calm. He did have trouble sitting idle for very long…I think they are kept very busy and there is not much down time for them.
On Friday they had their talent show and we stuck around town so Nick could go back and sing with the band. All the kids were great, they were happy, enthusiastic, and excited about being there. Olivia and I thoroughly enjoyed all their talents including Ms. Kristie…who has quite a voice and Justin who proved he is quite the guitar player for sure!!!! Thank you to everyone who helped put it on. Afterwards the kids were full of hugs and smiles. It is clear that they miss all of you and I was happy to offer up hugs and give them all pats on the back. It is obvious, with all the new graduates that the numbers are down, but the staff and kids all seemed happy and according to Nick motivation and spirits are high.
Well….I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and that your holiday season is stress free and joyful.
Love and Peace
Lynn

Hi Teresa,
I’m so glad you are able to remain on the BBS. You encourage so many people! My son Jesse was in SCLA with Tony. Jesse graduated SCLA and high school in May and is currently attending college and doing great! He received several scholarships, loves his involvement with his living group, has a part-time job, and is doing well academically. Jesse really recognizes the opportunities given to him by the program and the wonderful folks like Judy at SCLA. It is wonderful to enjoy his being as well as my own growth from the seminars!
Hugs and Peace,
Sue

Lynn,
Thank you for your honest, supportive post. I too am very happy with the progress my son has made at SCL. He just made Jr. Staff and I don’t think I have ever been more proud. I couldn’t even contain my emotion when he told me. He was busting with pride as well. He is happy and is moving forward in his program. He told me he has noticed some staff changes but it is not affecting him in a negative way at all. We do need to support the wonderful staff there. Collin, Justin, Judy, Jean and many more have been nothing but helpful and caring to our family. I am so grateful to them for helping to save my son’s life. Where would we be without them? The bottem line is that my child is doing very well and is becoming a healthy, honest and mature young man!!

Hi Spring Creek Parents,
My son recently turned 18 and moved to the Ranch. We toured the Ranch while in Trout Creek for PC2. I like that the boys will be kept busy with community service and more opportunities to get out and put into practice what they have been learning. Just having a little more freedom will be a boost to their confidence and opportunity for success. I’m excited for the possibilities!
Blessings,
Kathy
