Thanks to all the teachers and staff members who work so hard to support, encourage and teach our kids. Middle school can be a challenging age and many wonderful people work together to make ARMS a great place to learn. Congratulations on a job well done to Mike Hayes and Betsy Dinger who lead a fine team of dedicated, hard working people.
A huge thank you to everyone who lent a hand this year. The school is enriched by all the families who are involved. Your participation makes a difference.
This will be the last FSP news unless someone steps forward to continue it for next year. There are volunteers to coordinate some activities, but there is not a leader for the Family School Partnership for next year. For those of you like me, who appreciate the communication, I hope that it continues. Have a great summer! Cathy Cullen
