It was a busy night for the children who joined The Arc of Essex County for Parents Night Out on October 21. The children visited Studio Arc, where they enjoyed making slime, playing “pin the eye on the monster,” creating Halloween crafts, and eating pizza together.

Parents Night Out provides themed drop-off nights where children and teens can participate in arts and crafts, games, and more while mom and dad have some time to recharge. The next one is scheduled for Friday, December 9 at Stepping Stones School in Roseland. The cost of the events are offset by the generous donations to the Community Recreation Fund from the 2021 Annual Appeal.
