Congratulations to the ARHS Social Studies Department for receiving the School Library Advocate award for 2012 from the Massachusetts School Library Association.

On December 14, 2011 the Amherst-Pelham Regional Public Schools, with generous support from the district-wide PGOs, sponsored “Generations Together: A Cambodian Open House” at Crocker Farm Elementary School.

David Poritz, ARHS class of 2007, has been named a Rhodes Scholar.  Only 32 students nationwide are selected for this prestigious scholarship to attend Oxford University. Read more about this great honor for David.

Thank you for the essential role you play to our school community and for entrusting us with your precious children. I feel fortunate to be part of a school system where the district faculty and staff work in close partnership with our students’ parents and guardians to make a difference in the lives of each and every child.

I wish you all a peaceful holiday season that will, hopefully, include an opportunity to rest, relax, and reflect on the joys in your life.

Sincerely,

Maria Geryk
