Invitations are arriving in mailboxes for the HRS Galactic Gala & Auction! We hope that you will support and join this annual fundraising event. 

Throughout our 40+ year history, support from the HRS community has made a difference in the classrooms and spaces where learning and transformation take place. Each year, our community builds on what has come before – and this year is no different. We’ll raise funds to support students through our online and live auctions, as well as for this year’s Fund-A-Need: Fun and Free Play.  

HRS has an amazing campus – specially designed for our programs and students. We also understand the importance of our outdoor spaces. HRS students work hard in the classroom: outdoor play and free time provides them needed opportunities to relax, have fun, and participate in healthy activities.  

Research supports this need – play boosts healthy development across a broad spectrum of critical areas: intellectual, social, emotional, and physical. Play supports the development of independence, perseverance, and social/interactive skills. Play provides a safe space for students to explore, learn to manage feelings, and build resilience. 

This year’s Fund-A-Need supports the build-out of the blacktop outdoor area of the Joan Beauregard Playfields. Upgrades will include a new, cushioned surface and play structures suitable for Middle School and Lower School students. Funds will also support enhancements to other outdoor areas. 

Additionally, 25% of the money raised through Fund-A-Need will be designated for the Tuition Assistance Endowment – supporting need-based tuition assistance in perpetuity.
