• setting up a recording studio for students so they can produce films, music, podcasts, and other creative works;

• a team-building field trip for Team A to Project Adventure in Springfield;

• creating a mural of the Connecticut River Valley as part of the 7th-grade interdisciplinary study;

• bringing Shakespeare & Co. to ARMS to perform A Midsummer Night's Dream for the 8th grade;
