AND to Chuck Platt who always supports OFS!💫
OFS has wonderfully engaged parents who jump in and learn along with their children how to stretch and grow, and how to self-advocate.
Tara's son Sean is one of many students who have had the opportunity to learn at Orchard Friends School - an individualized, student-centered, social-learning saturated, academic program that teaches the whole child. He's a wonderful person who will do wonderful things!
The OFS Run&Ride is this Saturday, October 3rd. For information or to donate, go to orchardfriends.org

OFS 7th Annual Give Back Lunch (with a twist)!
We were all disappointed to not be able to host our fun lunch with everyone coming in to sit down and eat. Next best thing? Boxed lunches for drive by pick-up 🚒 🚑 🚓
We appreciate our area first responders and public servants. Our students learn so much from the meal planning, cooking, serving, and conversation. Hopefully next year, we will get to sit, chat, and eat together again.
Thanks for all you do for Riverton, Palmyra, and Cinnaminson!!
OFS is thankful everyday for the work Riverton Police Department - NJ does for Orchard Friends School and the Riverton community. The entire department works and leads by example. We see and experience regularly the officers’ professionalism, respect, kindness, intelligence, humor, dedication, and consistency.
Today we were blown away by their generosity. The department has chosen Orchard Friends to receive a huge portion of the proceeds they raised in their No Shave November campaign. $2000 goes a long way in supporting programming for kids who can’t get the services and support they need from their hometown schools.
Thank you so very much for championing individualized academic and social education to help students maximize their potential. We are ever grateful for the many ways you partner with OFS that directly benefit our students.
OFS💚RPD!
