In 2014, Henderson Inclusion School commemorates their 25th year as an inclusion school and celebrates their expansion to the first ever fully inclusive K12 public school in Boston. To reflect on these achievments and to look toward to the next chapter, the school is hosting "Up, Up & Away", their annual benefit gala.
Held on Thursday, May 1, 2014 from 6:30 - 9:30 pm at University of Massachusetts Campus Center Ballroom, this event will raise much-needed funds to support the building of a universally accessible playground on our Upper Campus and various other inclusion improvements at both the Upper and Lower schools.
Food and drink will be plentiful and there will be auctions galore!
