United Way presented a check for $24,000 to distribute among the five community schools in Rochester Public Schools... including the ALC! We are so grateful for this support. These dollars allow the school to fund experiences students wouldn't otherwise have, including boxing classes, music classes, ice skating, sign language classes, nature trips, and more! Thank you!
