Day School Holiday Fun


Students wore their p.j.'s to watch the Polar Express. 
The week before winter break is always a 
festive time at Avondale House. Look at us displaying our holiday spirit in cozy pajamas, over-the-top sweaters and decked out doors!
It's a tradition for every classroom to decorate their door for Santa's arrival.


































Singing Christmas carols turned into an impromptu dance party! Check us out breakin' it down... can you hear all the laughter? So much fun!

 

Small Miracles Made Possible by You






You have heard us express that our students major in small miracles. Saying "I love you" for the first time, eating a whole green vegetable, making a sandwich independently, or pushing a classmate on the swing - these small accomplishments are great miracles for the students and clients of Avondale House.


We would like to share another example of how your support has made a difference in the lives of those we serve.


Breanna enrolled in our day school program this past year. When she first arrived she was very anxious and had trouble staying seated and keeping her hands to herself. Gracious donations to Avondale House enable small class sizes, so that Breanna's teaching team was able to find what made her feel uniquely safe, comfortable and secure - a plush toy canoe. Now, Breanna is able to focus on academic tasks in her classroom


As the holiday season approaches, we hope that you will include Avondale House as part of your year-end charitable giving. Your encouragement, involvement and generous financial support can make miracles happen! Please donate today.
