As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to a close (although it never actually stops at The Rich Center), we want to share one final social media 'thank you' to all the hardworking teachers and staff on our team. Our Rich Center families made this a week to remember and treated everyone to some Handel's Ice Cream today.

Take a look at some of the inspiring posters created by student family members that kept our teachers feelin' the love all week long!

Thank You!

The Rich Center would like to extend a big "Thanks!" to Chayse Kucik and Ms. Santiago's class at Warren J.F.K. for their generous $300 donation to our center. Chayse stopped by the center to present the check on behalf of his class last week. Chayse's brother Ayden is a student at The Rich Center.

It's Giving Tuesday and today we welcome back all of our students who we hope got to enjoy a long holiday weekend with their families and loved ones. Our staff members are back in action doing what they do best, our hallways and classrooms are busy, and it's the perfect time to reflect on how all of this continues to be possible because of the support system we have. When you support a non-profit with a donation, no matter the size, you're not only supporting the organization but your community as well. The Rich Center for Autism is dedicated to improving education experiences and outcomes for individuals with autism and their families through teaching, research, and community engagement. When you support our center with a donation, you're helping to provide opportunities for students and their families they might not get without it. You're helping to provide our staff with the necessary tools they need to accomplish our mission on a daily basis. You're helping us keep our facility functioning and in usable condition. When you donate, you're directly impacting the lives of our students and their families. Your contributions go distances farther than you can imagine. Thank you to all of you who have supported us over the years and to all who have helped organizations like ours. If you're able to support us today we will absolutely appreciate it.

Sorry if we missed your call today. We were "working". In all seriousness, we had a very productive day as a team. We used a little extra time back at the center this morning to catch up on tasks post-holiday and then decided to get our week off to a great start with some team building at Westside Bowl. Thank you to all of our staff for the roles you play today and every day throughout the year. You're the greatest!

His crew also stopped by Development with another $2,000 check to help raise awareness about autism. Thank you, Youngstown United as One!
