Join other Hardy caregivers to celebrate Hardy's 100th birthday at Donut Villa on Saturday March 29th at 7PM.  There will be music, cash bar, free appetizers, and yes - donuts!  The theme is the 1920's - so feel free to don a swanky headband or fedora!

There will be a Silent Auction for amazing experiences and items and a raffle for experiences for your students with Hardy teachers and staff.  

Most importantly, this is a great chance to get together with adults from our community and have a chance to actually chat without kids!  So book a babysitter and head to Arlington center for a fun caregivers' night out!
