Our Silent Auction event last Saturday was a huge success. Many of you were creatively dressed for the "Puttin' on the Ritz" theme and everyone attending was in the spirit of giving to support the school. A huge shout out to Jen Willard and Megan Schimmelpfennig for their tireless work to pull off the grand affair. Also big thanks to Kristen Rhudy for securing the venue and arranging child care. Thanks to the many parents who worked behind the scenes, and a special thank-you to Beth Langer who was instrumental in creating many special baskets and projects. Our ARPS staff attended with a flair and their outings with students raised many donations. All in all the event was an amazing show of support for our special school!
