Latham School of Brewster invites the public to attend one of two Open House campus tours on Saturday, May 3 during Brewster in Bloom weekend. Staff and volunteers will host two guided tours at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. of the residential campus serving children with complex special needs, including Prader-Willi Syndrome. Latham School is located at 1646 Main St. in Brewster, across from the Brewster Fire Department. Visitor parking and tour check-in will be at the Latham School parking lot at the corner of Alden and 1646 Main Streets.

Tour highlights include stops at the Latham Schoolhouse; Yawkey Dormitory; Student Craft, Soap and Plant Sale; a Dog Training Exhibition by a Latham Student and Companion Animal Program mentor; a Student Spring Art Show; and Latham President & CEO Anne McManus speaking on the history of the Captain Elijah Bangs Main House.
