Friday Knights
   The Friday Knights program is starting up again for the spring semester. On five Friday evenings throughout the semester, Saint Rose hosts children from the surrounding area with autism spectrum disorders. Their ages range from 4 to 19, and the Saint Rose student volunteers set up various activities for them to enjoy while their parents get a night off or attend the parent group.

The meetings will take  place on Wednesday, Feb. 7:15 to 9:15 p.m. or Friday, Feb. 9 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Returning volunteers attend a meeting prior to the first session on February 10 4:15 to 5:15 p.m. in the Lally Forum.

At 3:30 p.m., there will be a 30 minute guided meditation session, which requires no specific faith belief or prior experience. Starting at 4:00 p.m., right after nap time, there will be music therapy, where students can draw, write, or just listen and reflect.
