Pioneering Voices: Portraits of Transgender People Exhibit at ARMS Wrap Up

ARMS completed its hosting of Pioneering Voices: Portraits of Transgender People photo-text exhibit by Family Diversity Projects, which every Advisory group studied through ARMS-created  curriculum. We were the first public school in the country to bring the exhibit and we are deeply proud of our students for their respectful engagement. Principal Bode thanks ARMS parents and guardians for your support of this project.

ARMS Music Program EOY

The 7th grade and 8th band grade band gave a rousing concert on June 14!

The 7th grade and 8th grade orchestra on June 15 was inspirational!

The COMBINED CHORUS on June 7th animated the evening with a lively performance. Bravo!

CHORUS in Boston at Faneuil Hall: The chorus trip to Boston on Saturday June 10 was a huge success. ARMS students voices were energetic in a spirited performance at Faneuil Hall.
