  • The Theater Company will be concocting plans for a busy fall season, and we'd love for you to stay in the loop.  If you have even an inkling of thought that you might want to be involved in productions in Fall 2021, make sure you've joined the Theater Company Google Classroom (join link: qszdjdj) before you finish this school year.  Announcements on productions and startup meetings for next fall will be posted here across the summer.  See Mr. Bechtold if you have any questions.

  • Krish Poudel, a sophomore at ARHS, is reaching out to you with a request for book donations that will benefit the children and youth groups of the Agape Church community in Westfield. For his Eagle Project, Krish is establishing a library at the Agape Church for the resettled Bhutanese refugee population and all collected books will become a part of this library.  

    There are over 3,000 Bhutanese refugees resettled in Western Massachusetts, and this project was created with a goal of promoting youth literacy among this population. If you would like to donate, please look for the boxes across from the Main Office. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Krish at poudelk@arps.org. Not school Sponsored

  • La Source, the ARHS Bilingual French Newsletter! It is with great honor and excitement that we are sharing this unique pandemic edition of La Source with you. Click here to view our latest edition of La Source. La Source is the ARHS Bilingual French Newsletter that was created 5 years ago by the French Club. Its main goal is to build bridges between the American and the French/Francophone worlds by exposing our school community to the French/Francophone cultures. This year, for the first time, in addition to current news events in the French speaking world, students have used La Source as a platform to showcase the remarkable work they have accomplished throughout this challenging and unprecedented Covid-19 school year. Students would normally showcase their work during the Cultural Show Exhibit at our Annual French Community Dinner. If you are interested in joining the French Club or have any questions, please contact sedrakyanm@arps.org or cisseo@arps.org. Enjoy! Merci.
