Amherst Youth Football Car Wash
Is your car dirty? Are you looking
for something to do on Saturday morning? Stop by the Chili's on Route 9 in
Hadley, MA and let the youth who participate in Amherst Youth Football wash
your car -- we promise it will be cleaner than when you arrived on the lot.
Cost? $5 -- all additional donations gladly accepted. All proceeds benefit the
fantastic group of kids (GIRLS and boys) who play Amherst Youth Football - go
Hurricanes - catch them in action on Sunday at the High School Football field -
Pee wees (3rd and 4th grade ) at Noon, Juniors (5th and 6th grade) at 1pm and
Seniors (middle schoolers) at 2pm. Thanks - in advance - for your support and
your well wishes!

2012 BOOK FAIR INFORMATION
Monday - Friday
September 24 through September 28
EXTENDED HOURS DURING OPEN HOUSE 9/27- 6:30-9:30
P.M.
Scholastic Books has many great, affordable books for middle school
students and their families. Ellare Books is a local, home-based book
store that offers numerous educational books, fiction, hardcover titles and paperbacks
at deep discounts, with most books under $5.00! It's a great time of year to
pick up some books for the upcoming holidays or for your own home library!
Families are always welcome
to visit the Book Fair when we are open. Your child will most likely be coming
to the book fair with his/her English class but may come during free time at
the beginning or end of the academic day. If you can't make it to the fair with
your child, you can send your child with cash
in an envelope or a check made out to ARMS
FSP (our school’s Family School Partnership). If you choose to send a check, please designate on the memo line
a maximum amount available for book purchases. 6.25% sales tax is added to the price of all purchases so please
plan accordingly. Credit cards can also
be used on Scholastic purchases, but not on Ellare purchases. Ellare will
accept cash or checks.
REMEMBER, WE WILL BE OPEN DURING OPEN
HOUSE ON SEPTEMBER 27th FROM
6:30-9:30 PM, SO FEEL FREE TO COME IN
AND BROWSE THEN!
We have some parent volunteers BUT can use some more. If you are interested please contact DIANE
CARAKER at Dianec711@comcast.net
or BECKY DEMLING at Beckydemling@yahoo.com
Let’s make this year’s book fair a success so every
child can continue to foster a love of reading!!!
