This year’s theme, “Reach for the Stars,” will focus on fun in outer space and is designed for families with elementary school aged children.  Activities will include a bounce house and inflatable slide that was sponsored by The House of the Good Shepherd, music and announcements by WRNJ and the WRNJ Birthday Wheel, crafts, games and more!  The Kiwanis Club will sell refreshments for lunch outside of the gym.

“The members of The Arc of Warren County community and myself are thankful for the dedication that the Hackettstown High School’s Key Club has had for our organization for more than 20 years,” says John Whitehead, CEO of The Arc of Warren County.  “This event proves to be a fun, inexpensive day for families while also supporting the individuals who receive services from the Agency.”
