The Arbor School

Schools out for summer break! Yesterday was such a fun last day of school, filled with parties, awards, and a whole lot of fun! Enjoy your break and we will see you in our summer session!

Over the past year, we have been working quietly and tirelessly on some BIG news.

As we approach five years in our current campus, we are celebrating how far our community has come and preparing for what's next! After uncovering a significant need for continued support for students after age 18, we began reimagining our campus in a way that it could be thoughtfully renovated to expand programming through age 22, providing critical continuity and opportunities for families as they navigate early adulthood.

Over the past year, we have worked diligently to bring this vision to life, and thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we are now roughly 85% toward our $775,000 goal, with construction already underway ahead of an August 1 completion date. With just over $100,000 remaining, we invite our community to help us cross the finish line and ensure more students have the support, opportunities, and future they deserve as we continue to Grow for Good.

Happy Mother's Day to our wonderful Arbor moms! Your strength, tenacity, and joy is inspiring and I am so thankful that each and every one of you are a part of the Arbor Family.

The Arbor School recently hosted its Annual A Legacy of Hope Luncheon and welcomed more than 240 guests to campus as we celebrated "Growing for Good!" We thank everyone who joined us for a wonderful afternoon and thank our students, staff, and leadership who made it a beautiful day of introducing so many to our mission! We raised $267,575, and with pledges toward the Growing Futures Giving Society, a grand total of $396,975 was raised for our operational needs!

Our keynote speaker, Cleere Cherry Reaves, brought our theme to life and we will be holding onto the key mission message she crafted from The Arbor’s name - A: Adjust Your Expectations, R: Root Before You Rise, B: Belong Before You Become, O: Own What You Can Shape, and R: Remember What is Being Formed.

As we remember what is being formed in both the good and hard work of The Arbor, we are certain of one thing – we couldn’t keep growing for good without this community.

Thank you to Meredith Symonds Photography for capturing the special day!

We'd like to share the video premiered at our Annual A Legacy of Hope Luncheon. This video shares Arbor family stories and what makes our school so incredible! We invite you to watch and share it with your community!

It's year FIVE of the Co****le Tournament, benefitting The Arbor School! Arbor parents, Jimmy and Leslie Siegel, alongside their team at Aspire Wealth Advisors, organize this incredible event for us each year. The Co****le Tournament is built around raising funds in support of our scholarship program to assist families who desire an Arbor education for their child. The goal is to raise $100,000, which will make a huge impact in our efforts!

We are excited to celebrate year five with another fun filled day of family, co****le, music, food, a silent auction and more for those of all ages, and there's even an Easter Egg hunt this year! You don't want to miss out!

We’ve got shade for days thanks to our community partner, bp! Our students and teachers couldn’t be more excited about this newly added shade on our two playgrounds.

The bp team rallied together last year to raise over $180,000 with the goal of adding the needed shade canopies through their “Raise the Roof” campaign. The installation was completed last month and our playgrounds and students are back in action!

Being on our playgrounds helps our students put into practice the skills they learn in the classroom, but the dangers of the sun caused us to limit our outdoor time. Adding the necessary shade was one of the best enhancements we could ask for!
