Cookie mixes, handmade decorations, dog biscuits and holiday cards were just a few of the myriad of gifts on sale at the annual ATP and Bridges Holiday Boutique at the Ed Center on Dec. 13. The tradition of over 20 years has students making items throughout the fall semester, which they then display and sell themselves to District employees. The project provides students an opportunity to have fun making merchandise to sell to friends and family while learning new life and creativity skills. One hundred percent of the funds raised are directly returned into funds and activities supporting ATP and Bridges High School.
ATP helps develop young adults with special needs into positive, productive and contributing members of society, and the Bridges Academic Program serves as a specialized therapeutic setting for high school students with severe emotional disabilities and various other special education qualifying disabilities.
The Boutique will be open again on Friday, Dec. 20, for any last-minute holiday shopping.
