Meet A Student

Maryanne, 24

"I like Loveland because I get to be independent.

Maryanne1

Maryanne started to attend Loveland in 2009. She lives with her mom in North Port and can't wait for the Loveland Village to be completed so she can move into an apartment with her best friends. She is currently taking Health & Safety Class, Fitness, Mosaics, Contracts, and Computer Lab. Her favorite class is Mosaics class because she gets the be creative while making things. Outside of Loveland, Maryanne participates in Special Olympics Bowling and Swimming, and loves going to the movies. Her all-time favorite thing to do at Loveland is to participate in the Follies. Maryanne says, "I love the Follies because you get to audition and be in the show and express yourself".

Testimonials

"Ever since we attended our first Follies show a few years ago, when the students stole our hearts (and continue to do so), we became full fledge supporters, contributors and ‘part time’ volunteers as needed. The Loveland Staff is a dedicated ‘one of a kind’ that has overwhelmingly earned our respect and admiration. We urge you to tour the campus and you too will become enthusiastic supporters."
