Family Outreach of Amherst - Valley Gives 12/12/13
Family Outreach of Amherst (FOA) is excited to be participating in Valley Gives Day on 12/12 this year! As you may know, FOA has a new partnership with the Amherst schools and opened a satellite office at the family center located in the Amherst Regional Middle School. Our caseworkers work with families from every school in the district who may have issues with housing, food insecurity, or other problems that could keep a student from reaching their full potential.
FOA receives NO FUNDING from the school district and relies on our generous community to continue to do this important work. Making a donation will allow FOA to keep our caseworkers helping families become strong and thrive.
Valley Gives Day, 12/12/13, will be an exciting day--be sure to keep an eye out for email and Facebook updates. If you haven't already, please like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/

ARMS Yearbooks went on sale this month. The pre-order period is December 1st through December 20th. It is important to reserve yearbooks at this time because the number of yearbooks published will be basedon the number of pre-orders received. There is only ONE printing. Reserved yearbooks are distributed in Advisories in June. We generally order a small percentage over what is reserved so that there are a limited number of unreserved yearbooks available for sale in June at a higher price.
Students will be bringing order forms home next month. Please read these carefully as there are a number of options for reserving books. Please return completed order forms with payment to student advisors by the preorder deadline: December 20th.
