If you are a senior interested in learning more about Westfield State University, think about going to the ARHS field trip there on Thursday, November 16, to learn about their excellent academic & extra curricular programs. It includes a free credit-bearing summer program and a support system for students during all four years of college.  If this sounds good to you, please see Mrs. Cappelli in guidance by this Friday to put your name on a list of interested students. 

Next week at all lunches Women's Rights Club will be providing space for people to participate in the #MeToo campaign. Come to the table at any lunch to write down your story--these will be anonymously displayed as a work of art around the school the following week. This is an opportunity to share your story and/or learn more about the different forms that harassment takes.

Come to the first ever general meeting of the Refugees in Distress club on Tuesday, October 31st at 3:00 in room 325 (Leopold) to read background articles, plan actions, and become part of the vibrant valley refugee relief effort.
