From the PGO Chair

Dear ARMS families,
Hope everybody is doing well & enjoying the beautiful Fall season!  Remember to check out our https://armspgo.blogspot.com

The PGO team had a very good evening at Open House. I'm very thankful to parents who stopped by, were interested about our work, signed up to help one way or another; also their children had ice cream, cookies and popcorn at our table.  So good to meet new parents! Good fun!

And welcome new volunteers! It's not too much work when we do it together. Can you help in the upcoming Movie Night, (any good movie suggestion?) the Winter Social coordination, the Staff Appreciation lunch, the Coat drive, or in the Educator Award committee, or as our Fundraiser coordinator?  We always have a nice warm conversation, refreshments and the good feeling we are doing our best for the school community.

Please let me know asap!!!!  One for all, all for one!
Muchas gracias & keep up the ARMS spirit!
