May 3, 2007 marked the culmination of the 2nd Annual "Celebration of Reading" program at the New Hazlett Theater. This year’s program, presented by Prime Theater and the Tickets for Kids Foundation, focused on The Diary of Anne Frank, which chronicles the struggles of a Jewish family in hiding from the Nazis during World War II, as told through the eyes of the youngest daughter.

For the project, Auberle students created study groups and read the book. Under the guidance of agency mentors, they “interpreted” the book through the creation, projects that allowed them to express their personal perspectives of the subject.

The Auberle projects were unveiled before the night’s special Prime Stage performance of The Diary of Anne Frank, which all of the children who participated got to attend.

Auberle teacher Jeanne Shaffer presented the Auberle projects to the other 18 agencies, representing 200 participating children. According to her, the evening was "absolutely marvelous".

Auberle’s kids also got a special treat during the course of the evening – a visit with the new Steelers mascot. As a result, the kids will be involved in the contest to name the new mascot.

Perhaps most importantly, the participating Auberle children had an unbelievable experience.
