Arcola has a Giving Tree. We are collecting gloves, hand warmers, and foot warmers for the Norristown Hospitality Unit.

Members of NJHS, in collaboration with Arcola's Toys for Tots club and the organization No Longer Bound Development Center, collected new, unwrapped toys for children ages 3-14. The collection concluded on Thursday, 12/16. The drive was a great success!

Our last message to you as parents and guardians as the holiday season is upon us and we close out the year 2021 is to reinforce the act of kindness. Yes, we all are different, but we coexist together in this community that we call our “home”. Let’s remember that despite our differences we all are equal and not only do we have to have our own best interests at heart, but we need to have others’ interests at heart as well. Volunteering is a great way to show our children how to care for others in our community. If you are interested in finding a volunteer opportunity for your student, contact us for some ideas (7th Grade – Mr. Mueller – mmueller@Methacton.org; 8th Grade – Ms. Berardelli – sberardelli@methacton.org.

As we head into the long break, the Arcola counselors would like to wish all of you a peaceful, joyful, and restful holiday!
