Happy New Year from all of us at ARCH!

New Year New Me

We've asked some ARCH Staff and participants about their new year's resolutions and here's what they had to say:

"Make better choices and live a healthier life"- Yvonne S.

"Be nicer to my friends"- Estevan L.

"Work out more"- Sammie H.

"Own more property"- Jacob G.

"Stop eating junk food"- Shanique S.

"Better myself"- Erwin K.

"Visit somewhere new"- Mariah G.

"Get better at math"- Joseph C.

We wish you all the best in completing your goals! You can do it!

We want to thank our friends at Soaren! They have been nothing short of amazing! Not only have they helped ARCH purchase new supplies and equipment over the summer, but they've also volunteered at our larger events like the ARCHKids Field Day. But that's not all! Soaren also held a toy drive for the ARCHKids Program! Our participants were so excited opening up their gifts and making our Holiday Pajama Party extra special.

THANK YOU SOAREN MANAGEMENT!

Friends & Family Winter Show

Thank you to everyone who attended our Winter Show! After taking a long hiatus, ARCH Alive is so excited to be performing for a live audience once again! Our performers put in a lot of hard work, and we are truly so proud of all of them. We hope to see everyone again at our next show!

A special thank you to Sally Stearman, Kathleen Penney, Debbie & Frank Rosales, Charlette Contreras, Cathy Daye, Melinda Volmer, and their volunteer crew for designing and creating our beautiful Holiday Performance costumes!

Birdies for Charity

We are so thankful to everyone who placed a pledge, donated, and/or volunteered on ARCH's behalf for the Birdies for Charity fundraiser!

We had such a great time at the WM Phoenix Open! Thank you to Thunderbirds Charities for sponsoring the Birdies for Charity fundraiser that helps amazing charities throughout Arizona!

STEPS Spotlight

Our STEPS to Health & Wellness Program has a lot to be proud of!

Our participants CRUSHED their latest fitness challenge, Walk A-Latte Laps! Participants were challenged to walk around our field in order to earn points for their team throughout the month of November. Team PUMPkin Spice v. Team Chai Hards! Ultimately, Team Chai Hards won, with 937 laps, a well-deserved Holiday Drink Party! Congratulations!

Earlier this month, both of our Special Olympic basketball teams, Traditional and Unified, won their tournaments!
