Principal Gene Jones will host his first Coffee and Conversation with the Principal on Wednesday, September 18th at 7PM in the ARHS Library. He will be updating the ARHS Community on his thoughts and priorities about the year ahead.
Light refreshments will be served.
Here’s an easy way to support ARHS online – at no cost to you! Do you shop at Stop & Shop? Do you have a loyalty card? Join the 2,400 other ARHS parents, staff, and alumni who have registered their cards in support of ARHS. Last year we received over $10,000 for our PGO grants program – all for free!
To sign up for A+ Rewards or change your selected school, go to www.stopandshop.com, sign in or register, select Manage Account, select Rewards & Savings, and choose ARHS (ID 05167) for A+ Rewards.
If you can’t find your card or got your card under a different name, you can call Consumer Affairs at 1-877-366-2668 and select Option #1; they can help you locate your card number.
Once you register your card, purchases made from all Stop & Shop stores are eligible. Have relatives in New York or New England? Ask them to register and support ARHS, too!
PSAT’s will be administered here at ARHS on Wednesday October 16th. Pre-registration will start this Monday (9/16) for all of the 11th graders interested in taking them. Students can pre-register in room 207 or room 309. The cost is $16, and checks can be made out to ARHS. Please contact Mr. Sadiq if you have any questions. Thanks.
