W hen Drew Beekler takes the stage at a special event for The Janus School, he won’t just deliver punchlines. He’ll share a powerful story of perseverance, creativity and what can happen when you embrace the way you learn. The school will host “Breaking Barriers: A Night of Humor and Hope With Drew Beekler” on Friday, March 20, at 7 p.m. at its campus, 205 Lefever Road, Mount Joy. The idea for the program came about after Beekler’s mother, Julie Barker, came to an event at the school last year and was struck by the hardworking students she met. “She was reminded of the challenges her own son endured throughout school and thought that Drew’s story would resonate with our students,” recalled Brenda Keller, director of academics at The Janus School. Soon, Keller realized Beekler’s message would appeal beyond the students, so the school decided to host a night for the community. “Drew’s message of perseverance and following your passion is universal,” Keller said. “Had he accepted the limits others put on him, he likely would not be where he is today. We can’t wait for him to be here to share his story with our students as well as the larger community. It will be an inspiring experience for anyone who attends.” After spending time with the students and staff during the school day and addressing them in an assembly presentation, Beekler will start the evening See Janus School pg 4

needs of more people.” Before moving to the building formerly operated by the Grace Baptist Church of Millersville, Aaron’s Acres was confined to 1,000 square feet of office space it was leasing. It held programs at churches, Millersville University, and other organizations and used a storage area on Rohrerstown Road. There are no longer many limitations in the new digs, which has 12,000 square feet. “All of our programs can be here and our meeting rooms,” Paskoff said. “We had a great relationship with the Residence Inn for our board meetings, for committee

ity, and we’ve never turned away a family if they can’t afford the program,” said Paskoff. “We provide scholarships. Some families do get county funding, but we have never turned away a family if they don’t have funding. We make sure it happens for them. We don’t want a parent to say, ‘I’m sending my kids to camp or to a program. They are having fun, but I’m stressed.’ We want it to be a positive experience for everyone.” Aaron’s Acres has come a long way. For the first 16 years of its existence, all six employees worked from home. Then the outfit leased space before coming to the organization-altering decision to purchase a location. “The positive was we were partnering with a lot of different organizations and businesses and churches for program space,” said Paskoff. “It raised the awareness of who we are, what we do. People learned about us, but it was also logistically hard, because we had to work around everyone’s schedule. We finally said it’s time for us to have our own space, because we have a lot of dreams, and we want to just keep expanding.” Go to https://aaronsacres.org for more information. “At Aaron’s Acres, we embrace possibilities,” Paskoff said. “We celebrate each person for who they are and what they are able to do. We create a safe space where parents have told us they could breathe. The child who has medical issues or the child who has behavioral issues or physical issues, they all can be met, and their needs can be addressed in a way that’s appropriate and immediate.”

with each other and engage in meaningful activities,” continued Paskoff. “We’re hoping to have a family lounge here, so parents can come and sit while they drop their kids off and interact and engage in conversation with people with similar situations and realize they’re not alone in their situation.” The facility fosters a feeling of belonging. “Raising a child with a disability often is very lonely, and you don’t feel like you’re part of a community,” Paskoff said. “We really want to create this as a community hub but based on our people’s needs.” Aaron’s Acres once served people between the ages of 5 and 21. Now it can assist those up to and including 40 years old. “We want to be able to do more meaningful programs for the older group,” said Paskoff. “With the purchase of this building, we are truly meeting the needs, and we’re going to continue to meet the needs of families and individuals who have disabilities.” She added, “There is a tremendous need for programs for individuals who have disabilities, especially as they graduate from high school. Families have said to us, ‘The school bus stops coming, and families fall off the cliff.’ That’s an awful visual, but it’s reality. We wanted to make sure that we had meaningful, age-appropriate programs for individuals who graduated from high school.” Aaron’s Acres boasts a staff-client ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 and aids people from all backgrounds. “From when we first started 28 years ago, we’ve never turned away a child because of a disabil-

with a brief family-friendly comedy set. “He will then share his story and perspective of being a student with learning challenges, including dyslexia, and his experience of discovering his artistic talents,” Keller said. “Drew will share more about how he embraced those differences and was able to empower himself with strategies and tools that would give him the confidence to pursue a successful visual arts career and now stand-up comedy.” Barker will also speak at the event, sharing her perspective and how significant a role support and resources play in a student’s success.

offer a meet-and-greet opportunity following the presentation. The Janus School is the only independent school in central Pennsylvania dedicated to helping students with a language- or mathbased learning disability, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, executive function difficulties, a nonverbal learning disorder or an auditory processing disorder. It serves students from seven surrounding counties at its Mount Joy campus. “At Janus, our mission is centered on empowering students with learning differences to recognize their strengths and thrive,” Keller said. “The ‘Breaking Barriers’ series is a natural extension of that mission. We want our students to see successful adults who share similar challenges. We also want our community to better understand the incredible potential that exists within students who simply learn differently.” Keller emphasized that awareness leads to understanding and understanding leads to opportunity. “This series helps build that
bridge, and we want to serve our community with this important type of outreach,” she said. “If even one attendee leaves that evening believing more fully in their own potential, then we’ve accomplished exactly what we set out to do.” Proceeds from the event will support program expenses and operations of The Janus School. Sponsors, including community businesses, are invited to join the school in presenting “Breaking Barriers” to celebrate resilience, education, empowerment and the power of laughter and joy, Keller shared. “‘Breaking Barriers’ isn’t just a program - it’s an experience,” Keller said. “Drew Beekler’s personality is captivating, and he brings natural humor, honesty and talent together in a way that makes people feel seen and inspired. Whether you’re a parent, educator, student or community member, you will walk away thinking differently about learning, resilience and potential.” She said the evening will be uplifting, entertaining and deeply meaningful.
Drew Beekler
“So many families and educators have been touched by dyslexia, ADHD or other learning differences,” Keller remarked. “Hearing from someone who has lived that experience - and thrived - is powerful. Drew’s story resonates not just with students who struggle, but with anyone who has ever felt underestimated. There’s something incredibly special about gathering as a community around a message of perseverance and possibility. People desire hope and celebration, and this event will deliver that.” Tickets are required to attend and can be purchased up until the time of the event.

potpie meals on the third Saturdays of March and October. Weaver said the potpie suppers are one of the group’s main fundraisers, along with having Roller Ball stands at the Mountville Fire Company Carnival and the Washington Boro Tomato Festival. He noted that the proceeds are used to help support projects, including funding scholarships at Hempfield High School; supporting Beacon Lodge, a nonprofit camp in Union County that offers programs for those who are blind or challenged physically in other ways; maintaining the pavilion at the borough park; and focusing on other projects that help people with vision impairment. The organization also supports the Columbia Food Bank and organizes an annual Easter Egg Roll, which will be held at the Borough Park on Saturday, April 4, at 1 p.m. The Mountville Lions Club meets at 6:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at Trinity Reformed United Church of Christ, 450 W.
