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; and
·
awarding and funding the
newly created ARMS Educator Award.
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 first
annual ARMS Educator Award prize;
·
sponsor the annual Staff
Appreciation luncheon; and
·
plan and host the first
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!!
The ARMS PGO
