Jones Library Announces Book Selection for On the Same Page – Amherst 2017
The Jones Library is holding its fifth On the Same Page community reading program, this year featuring the book The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History,
a Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Elizabeth Kolbert. A series of
programs will be held in February 2017, based on topics and themes from
the book. On the Same Page – Amherst will culminate in an author
appearance to be held on Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at the Amherst Regional Middle School Auditorium.The Sixth Extinction was the winner of the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction, a finalist for the PEN Literary Award and the L.A. Times Book Prize, and a New York Times bestseller that was included on many “Best Books” lists in 2014 and 2015. This book explores five mass extinctions that have occurred over the past half-billion years, when the diversity of life on earth has been severely reduced. Scientists are now tracking the next mass extinction, of which human beings and their actions may be the direct cause. Kolbert explains how humans have altered life on the planet and how these actions may become our legacy.
Elizabeth Kolbert has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1999. Previously, she worked at the New York Times, and was also a contributor to the Times Magazine. She received a Lannan Literary Fellowship in 2006 and a Heinz Award in 2010, and won the 2010 National Magazine Award for Reviews and Criticism. She is the editor of “The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2009” and the author of The Prophet of Love: And Other Tales of Power and Deceit; Field Notes from a Catastrophe, and The Sixth Extinction.
On The Same Page – Amherst is designed to bring the local community together by encouraging residents to read the same book and by offering programming and opportunities for discussion about the book and the themes it contains. Now an annual event, On the Same Page – Amherst explores a different book each year to include a variety of themes, topics, genres, and writing styles.
For further information about the On the Same Page – Amherst, please contact Janet Ryan at 413/259-3223.

Homework assignment to all ARMS families from Dr. Bode
Eat food that you like with people you love. Have a lovely Thanksgiving break.
#GivingTuesday is this Tuesday!
After Black Friday and Cyber Monday comes #GivingTuesday, a 24-hour online day of philanthropy. This day kicks off the charitable season when many people turn their focus to the holidays and year-end giving.
On Tuesday,November 29th, the ARMS community will come together (virtually) for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and support our students and teachers.
The ARMS PGO (part of the ARPS PGO- a non-organization) whose membership includes all parents, legal guardians, and staff at ARMS. Our mission is to create a supportive and welcoming community for students, their families, teachers, and the administration by:
- planning and hosting events that bring ARMS families together;
- showing appreciation to our teachers and staff;
- communicating through our blog and team-specific emails;
- awarding mini-grants to teachers and staff for programs and materials that help provide additional enrichment experiences for ARMS students;
The PGO is run by a small, but dedicated, group of parent volunteers. While we organize fundraising events during the year, we also rely heavily on the support of ARMS families. We have a wonderful community here that is enthusiastic about supporting our kids and our school.
In the last year, we have used family donations to:
- award $2,000 worth of mini-grants to ARMS faculty and staff;provide MCAS snacks and drinks to all of our students;
- fund an anti-bullying program at the school;
- offer Career Day refreshments to speakers;provide refreshments at the monthly Coffee with the Principal;
- run a Teacher appreciation ad in the Amherst Bulletin;
- endow and fund the annual ARMS Educator Award prize;
- sponsor the annual Staff Appreciation luncheon;
- and plan and host the annual ARMS Welcome Back picnic.
In the coming year, we plan to do all this and more, including funding a newly established grant program for students who are looking to make a difference in their school and community.
Donations can be as little as $5 and as much as you can give, Thank you for your tax deductible donation. Every contribution helps!!

Survival Social sponsored by Team Y Tonight
This Friday, November
18th, from 7 -9 PM, Team Y students will host a social in the cafeteria
at the middle school called the "Survival Social". This social will
raise funds and awareness about our local Amherst Survival Center and
about the international Syrian Refugees. The social is open to all ARMS
students from grades 7 and 8 and all teams. The cost of the social is
$3.00, but if a student brings an item that can be donated to the
Amherst Survival Center (such as a canned good or toiletry item) the
cost will be $2.00. Financial support is available for students. Half
of the proceeds from the social will go to the Survival Center and the
other half will be given to the Refugees in Distress Club at the high
school to benefit Syrian refugees. We encourage parents to volunteer to
chaperone if they have an hour or 2 to spare. Thanks!
For students' safety:
Once students are at the social, they must stay in the ARMS school
building at the social until 9:00 UNLESS a parent/guardian comes into
the school to pick them up.
Please pick up your
student to take them home on time. We are asking all parents/guardians
to please arrive at 8:50 pm, so you are there to pick up your student
when we end the social promptly at 9:00.
We hope everyone can come
to the social. There will be many activities, dancing, games and other
activities so that all students can be included. It's going to be fun!
