<span id="docs-internal-guid-e30e7761-7fff-ebeb-5319-c1de9f4fa50e"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you so much for the acknowledgment the other day in the </span><a href="https://patch.com/new-jersey/millburn/millburn-schools-receive-pair-donations?utm_term=article-slot-1&utm_source=newsletter-daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Patch article</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. As President and CEO of Real Short Hills with Keller Williams Luxury, I am pleased to report that the amount donated to the district reflected in the article was only half the amount raised. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The discrepancy was merely that the 2019 Annual Short Hills Architectural & Real Estate House Tour, raised money throughout the year and provided separate donations to the district at different times. The total amount raised, by this year’s tour, was approximately $6500. The amount donated to date, has been around $45K. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Autism affects 1 in 34 children in NJ. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The tour is meant to promote Autism Awareness; and then showcase architecture and design, while providing a pulse on our local real estate market. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The proceeds from this event help assist the Director of Special Services of Millburn Township Public Schools, Jennifer Sowa, further fund parental and professional development opportunities. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The money specifically is utilized for 4 key district professionals to attend the Autism NJ‘s official state conference, as well as sending 2 special educators to their main Transition Conference. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The amount raised each year continually has exceeded the Autism NJ conference fees. Now with these greater funds raised, Sowa provides a speaker series. The topics and reach of this programming goes beyond individuals served by special services, as she invites the entire school district. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the most recent Board of Education meeting, a presentation was made to share how funds were raised from the Architectural and Real Estate House Tour which benefits our very own Special Services in Millburn Township Public Schools. Proceeds from the tour enabled 4 individuals to attend the Autism New Jersey main and transition conferences. Autism New Jersey’s main state conference was recently held on October 18th and 19th. The district’s three behaviorists received grants to attend the conference. The behaviorists don’t just help those with Autism, they assist anyone who has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). The fourth individual to receive a grant was a self-contained autism teacher from our district. They all shared their takeaways from the conference at the board meeting.

He is an architect and Melanie is a realtor with Keller Williams Premier Properties. Melanie also serves on the SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Committee).

She tends to have some of the most expensive and interesting homes on the tour. Her sponsorship sent the other 2 district professionals to the conference. Architect Matthew Rosenbaum usually puts his own design/build high-end renovations and/or new construction homes on the tour. (He’s the architect of the new construction modern home at 171 Highland Drive in Short Hills).

Keller Williams Premier Properties is another generous sponsor and supporter. With that, additional monies have been slated for Jennifer Sowa, Director of Special Services for Millburn Township Public Schools to add to her parental and professional development programs. Keep an ear out for those programs as some topic presentations/seminars relate to the entire school district. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So nice to have an article written about the annual house tour (and perhaps my journey related to the cause). It certainly expresses my passion regarding (though some of the details are mildly off - see below) my desire to spread autism awareness, help enhance parental & professional development in our local schools, and share my passion for local real estate and architecture. (My husband is an architect and I'm a realtor). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">A few points deserving clarification are:</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The kindergarten teacher gets a huge hug most every time I see her, since she has educated all 3 of my children as their wonderfully caring teacher. Check out <a href="https://patch.com/new-jersey/millburn/m-spec-rep-donates-books-to-district">another article written</a> related to our journey. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">One of the letters written from an educator who has received one of the grants for attending Autism NJ's conference can be seen <a href="https://realshorthillsasd.blogspot.com/2016/11/my-heart-is-warmed-and-my-efforts-are.html">here</a>. They come back refreshed and ready with up to date strategies for the children in our schools. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Regarding the real estate that is seen on the annual tour it really does give people a true sense of the values of the Short Hills market and potentially your own home. It's a fun opportunity to get a pulse on the local market! </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">All of the additional programs, besides the conferences from <a href="https://www.autismnj.org/">Autism NJ</a>, where initiated by the Director of Special Services, Jennifer Sowa. The tour helped pay for part of those programs.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Noteworthy (with many more involved not mentioned - <a href="http://www.realshorthills.com/house-tour-benefiting-millburn-special-services/">see the tour map and photos</a>)... Arlene Gonnella is always a generous sponsor with some of the best on the tour (this year $6M & still available); Jon Lamkin and Matt Keane of Guaranteed Rate always put sushi and sandwiches in some of the houses on the tour; Amy Burakovsky always puts a house on the tour; Maggee Miggins, every time she participates gives out candles; Jacky Elliott, the team leader at Sotheby's International was the igniter & cheerleader in the beginning for this event; Joanne Tedesco Kloud, the team leader at Weichert has always been a lovely supporter; Tom Baio, local architect always writes a phat check; The managing partners of KW, Howard Bunn & Cara Moxley are beyond generous and always show up to support me in some form or fashion; Cecilia Valdez, KW Sales Associate partnering with me on planning this tour; My family and especially my husband, Matthew Rosenbaum, high end local architect/design builder usually provides a highlighted house on tour, while providing patience and love (and amazing architecture in our town). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Another special thanks to my dear friend, Lara Stolman, local producer of the movie "Swim Team". It's a special award winning movie about a team consisting of only children on the Autism Spectrum. It was playing in the media room in one of the mansions on the house tour. If you missed it, check it out on Netflix! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Seriously it warms my heart how all of these people come together to give to this cause. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">Thank you! </span></div>

He will be presenting to parents on Wednesday night about the topic of resilience. How do we learn, and teach our children, to bounce back in difficult times? How can we help them become self-reliant, a skill needed for success in life? You don’t want to miss this presentation – I have seen him speak at a conference and he is a highly engaging speaker. He will share strategies that he has developed that you'll want to try out for yourself and with your family. I want to thank Jennifer Sowa, our Director of Special Services, for using grant funds to invite him to Millburn. He will be working with our staff on Wednesday afternoon, to give them professional development and instructional tools to support your children." </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The Superintendent, well the Superintendent came to the Preview Party! So kind because she had limited time needing to get to a School Board Meeting in the town in which she lives. She's the President of that School Board! I'm serious! So she showed up early to the party, I was running around setting up last minute details, it was funny! I offered her a drink (with no bar tender there yet), I offered her some food (with the food not yet served), and I offered to take her coat (but she was still holding it when someone went to snap a photo). I'm not even sure if she toured around the house! lol Regardless, it was so nice of her to attend and appreciated her support for the cause.</span></h4>

The house tour in Short Hills that you supported sent 4 Millburn Township district professionals to the state's official autism conference, put on by Autism NJ. The conference is usually in October and provides a wealth of information directed at individuals providing specials services, including parents, educators, healthcare professionals, etc. What I love about Autism NJ and their main conference, is that the valuable information provided is not ONLY focused on Autism, but it relates to many other types of special needs. I found the conference to provide very useful information that I access everyday, for all of my children. <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The conference spans over two days, and one night. The house tour paid entirely for the conference on both days and the one night hotel stay. </span><br />

<span class="" style="font-size: medium;">I saw the house tour item you posted on MSPEC and then stumbled onto the rest of your blog. How old is your son? How is he dealing with the information? If he'd like to talk to my 19-year-old, now a college sophomore, about his memories of learning his dx, please let me know. I'm sure James would be happy to discuss.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Lots of boxes, that served as gifts to teachers with supplies for classrooms of about 25 students.

I asked him if he knew what autism was and he said, "it is a very bad disease that causes problems with peoples brains". I told him that it is not a disease, but a disorder. And it is only as bad as you let it be. In other words, there are things and even medicines to help manage the problems that the disorder may cause. He continued to describe the boy as someone who was very sensitive. He was saying that the boy acted "really upset for no reason". I told my son there are triggers, and motioned like I was poking at something. I explained that sometimes people get triggered or poked by something, and then they feel and react the way they do. Your emotions and feelings just get the best of you sometimes. And the best thing to do is understand when you are triggered. We talked about how he got upset earlier in the day. Then he asked me if he had autism.

Real Short Hills with Keller Williams Premier Properties of Essex, Union, & Morris Counties will host the <a href="http://www.realshorthills.com/house-tour-benefiting-autism-awareness/" target="_blank">3rd Annual Short Hills House Tour Benefitting Autism Awareness</a>. The tour was created to gather interesting homes being sold by KW, to showcase what's really in Short Hills, while raising money to help a good cause in need & close to my heart. Autism affects 1 in 45 children in NewJersey. That is 1 child in every two classrooms, really. To see more about my motivations read more in the <a href="http://www.realshorthills.com/real-short-hills-asd-blog/" target="_blank">blog</a>, start from the bottom!</div>
<br />
A <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Short Hills House T</span>our participant will have the opportunity to view 6 homes in the Short Hills area, with a minimum $25.00 donation. All of the proceeds from the tour will go to Autism NJ as well as Millburn Township Public Schools, for the Benefit of Autism Awareness locally within our schools. The items received by the district will include materials that celebrate, acknowledge, or educate during Autism Awareness Month in April. <br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<br />
Many collaborations were made to make this all possible, with Autism NJ, KW (a driving source to be sure we give back to the community we serve), Caring Kids, Hartshorn's PTO, SEPAC, MESPEC, Education Foundation, and even the School Board to create a great event and get the benefit it provides. Each year it just keeps getting better! Thanks to all who support this effort! <br />
<br />
Jacky Elliott, Team Leader at KW, helped launch the original relationship between Autism NJ and Millburn Township. Dr. James Crisfield, former Millburn Township Superintendent, supported the nice union and appreciated what was provided to the district from Autism NJ by KW.<br />

My "real" favorite of what was acquired from Autism NJ for Millburn Township Public Schools was a lesson plan that came out of the first Autism NJ kit. It simply help teachers educate children about differences amongst each other. The lesson wasn't specifically about autism, but yet it had an objective to teach kids about acceptance. Frankly, it warmed my heart and Byrnn Alerbici a Director with Autism NJ, truly deserves real recognition for creating it and the entire <a href="http://realshorthillsasd.blogspot.com/2014/01/autism-njs-classroom-kits-for-our.html">Classroom Resource Kit</a>. <br />

<i>Autism NJ's release about their kits:</i> "Autism New Jersey has distributed more than 300 School Resource Packs to elementary school classrooms throughout the state, enough tools to teach 7,000+ students about autism awareness. <br />
<br />
Each School Resource Pack contains all the tools needed for an elementary school teacher (grades K to 5) to raise awareness in his/her classroom and includes supplies for a 24 student classroom. Packs include our new Kids Booklet on Autism, lesson plans, resources for teachers, and awareness giveaways for students (pencils, bookmarks, temporary tattoos).<br />
<br />
The packs were offered free to New Jersey teachers for the first time last year where 127 different elementary schools throughout the state were able to utilize this resource. Thank you to our sponsors for supporting this program and our important outreach into public schools."<br />

<br />
This Saturday, May 3rd from 12-3pm you can tour 6 beautiful examples of prime Short Hills, NJ Real Estate ranging in price from $1.5M-$4M.<br />
<br />
The Annual House Tour to Benefit Autism Awareness is on its second year and going strong. Last year, with the generous contribution and participation from town members and local friends, we contributed money to help create 300 Autism New Jersey's Classroom Resource Kits which went into New Jersey public schools. This year, we are beyond happy that 100% of ALL house tour ticket purchases and donations will go DIRECTLY to the Millburn Public School System. That means, all the money fundraised will go into local classrooms for our children! Each tour ticket pays for half of one kit!<br />
<br />
Autism New Jersey has paced the way for building acceptance and autism awareness. They are tops in providing tools and resources in NJ classrooms to help foster understanding. There is no known cure for Autism, and with 1 in 45 children in New Jersey being diagnosed, it is extremely important to integrate early intervention and provide resources for our community to support acceptance of others. <br />

<div style="color: #0433ff; font-family: Charter; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 17px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Some of you may know that April is Autism Awareness Month, and tomorrow your child will participate in an activity to acknowledge this via the<i> Faces 4 Autism</i> activity “Bubbles for Autism”. During recess the first and second grade students will blow bubbles up into the sky. Why bubbles? Because bubbles represent joy, happiness, & laughter and bring people together. The point of this event is to celebrate differences and raise autism awareness; and awareness is the first step toward acceptance. </span></div>
<div style="color: #0433ff; font-family: Charter; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Autism is a socialization and communication disorder. A new report from the <i>Centers for Disease Control (CDC)</i> shows <b>1 in 68 children nationwide</b> have autism; <b>1 in 45 children in New Jersey</b>, which is reportedly the highest in the nation with the report indicating statistics showing<b> 1 in 28 boys in New Jersey</b> have autism. This month you may see some items coming home from Classroom Resource Kits which <i>Autism New Jersey</i> has created to support teachers in understanding the disorder, and helping to spread Autism Awareness. </span></div>

And it was! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The box contained Autism NJ's classroom kit which we helped raise money for from the House Tour Benefiting Autism and Keller Williams Realty's Red Day. <br />
<br />
The kit designed for teachers contains booklets in kid speak of autism facts, brief lesson plans which teach "students will understand that everyone has different abilities", posters, pencils, autism ribbon tattoos, book marks, decorations, and more, all for a classroom with 25 students in grades K thru 5. <br />

<br />
This kit will help spread autism awareness throughout the community, just in time for Autism Awareness Month in April.<br />
<br />
Autism affects 1 in 45 children in New Jersey. It is a socialization & communication disorder. There is a range and a spectrum within the disorder. Behaving independently and appropriately are some of the biggest goals of people on the spectrum.<br />
<br />
I spoke with Brynn Alberici, Special Event Coordinator at Autism New Jersey, and was thrilled that the next House Tour coming in May will now help create kits especially for Millburn Township. Appropriately so, since the tour was planned by<b> "</b><a href="http://www.realshorthills.com/" target="_blank">Real Short Hills</a>" and the homes on the tour were in Short Hills, which is a part of Millburn Township. <br />
<br />
Thank you to Autism New Jersey for creating such an amazing resource to help spread Autism Awareness within Millburn Public Schools. Last year Autism NJ's theme was to "Build Acceptance" and this year their theme is to "Make a Statement". Mine is "Thank You"!!!<br />
<br />
Please look for more information for the <a href="http://www.realshorthills.com/real-house-tours-benefiting-autism-nj/" target="_blank">next house tour</a>, and attend this great event for this awesome cause. The next Tour is on Saturday, May 3rd from 12noon - 3pm. <br />
<br />

Members of the Millburn-Short Hills community hopped on a Soul Cycle bike for an intense spin class to raise awareness. Soul Cycle generously sponsored the event at the newly opened Short Hills boutique studio on Feb. 7. The participants raised over $1,400 while possibly burning the same amount of calories in a celebrity favorite <a href="https://www.soul-cycle.com/find-a-class/studio/29/" target="_blank">Soul Cycle</a> signature ride. The class, which is centered around community, brought town students, parents, the High School principal, along with members of the school board to sweat together for a good cause. <br />

While Soul Cycle may not be a work out for everyone it was wonderful at creating a space for community to come together by encouraging each other to push through resistance and come out stronger. Julia Truitt, the high school senior and President of the club has created an organization that is dedicated to spreading a message of compassion, understanding and most importantly inclusion. She has been honored in the past for her efforts at promoting awareness and fostering community. She did an amazing job with planning this successful event! Her mother, Regina Truitt is a member of the School Board and is also focused on building a strong sense of community in town. We are lucky to have them both so actively contributing to our school district. I was delighted to have participated and to have been a part of such a strong knit community that supports one another.<br />
