SAY Play Celebrates High School Graduates

The SAY Detroit Play Center’s High School Class of 2025 is a special one – several of them have been with us since SAY Play first opened its doors.

Earlier this month some of our seniors came back to SAY Play for the annual Senior v. Staff basketball game. Even with three seniors attending Division II 4-year universities on athletic scholarships, SAY Play Staff squeaked through for a “W”.

Before the game seniors were invited to share parting words to the younger SAY Play students. Congratulations Class of 2025 — the feelings are mutual!

I’ll always have love and respect for SAY Play.

Over the past 11 years, I’ve spent the majority of my after-school life at SAY Play. At first, I didn’t really enjoy spending my afternoons here. But as I kept coming back, I realized that the staff, mentors, and coaches truly wanted nothing but the best for us. I’m incredibly grateful for every one of them — those who are still here and those who have moved on.

Within the year we plan to add Family Medicine to our medical offerings and in 2026 we plan to offer dental services. Stay-tuned for more details!
