Tapestry Public Charter School to host fundraiser

Tapestry Public Charter School is hosting a fundraiser Wednesday to fund classroom resources for its students.

According to a release on the event, the evening will feature art created by the students, as well as silent and live auctions. Officials hope the night will be the beginning of a partnership between the school and the area art and business communities.

The event will be from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Solarium at Historic Scottish Rite, 321 Hill St. in Decatur.

About 96 students currently are enrolled at Tapestry Public Charter School, with hopes of continued growth through 2018, when the school hopes to expand to include high school students.

According to the release: “The mission of Tapestry is to offer an inclusive, individualized learning environment that is academically engaging, both for “neurotypical” students and those on the autism spectrum, and to create a positive school culture that empowers all students to take possession of their innate talents and become creative builders of their own future.”
