A Message from Executive Director Matty

A new school year is here, and we’re excited to welcome students back to Serendipity Center. The start of a new year always brings a sense of possibility, and we’re looking forward to all that’s ahead.

As we support students in reaching new milestones, we’re also excited about the future of our organization. Thanks to Oregon Lottery Bond funding awarded to Serendipity Center, we’re continuing to move forward with plans to expand our campus and hope to break ground on a new Upper School in late spring.

We’re also continuing our accreditation journey this year, an important step in strengthening our programs and ensuring we provide the highest quality education and support for the children and families we serve.

To our families, thank you for your trust and partnership. To our students, thank you for bringing your unique strengths and perspectives to our community. And to our donors, volunteers, and partners, thank you for making this work possible.

Together, we’re fostering growth and opportunities for the students who count on us every day, and we’re grateful to have you with us.

Warm regards,

Matthew Berryessa
Executive Director, Serendipity Center
