Upcoming @ Crocker Farm:
**Tues, Nov 3rd: School picture makeup day
** Sat, Nov 7th: Crocker Farm Barnes & Noble Bookfair day, at the Hadley B&N. We are still looking for people to sit out our table in-store & help promote our bookfair. There are a number of fun tech events the store that day (link to more info here), so there will be more people in the store, & more potential participants for our bookfair. This is one of our big fundraisers for the year, & volunteers are still needed. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4ca9ac22a5fa7-volunteer
** Mon & Tues, Nov 9th & 10th: Crocker Farm Winter Coat & Clothing Share. We are still seeking coats, snowpants, boots, etc. to give away -- the collection bins will be out until Friday afternoon -- & more volunteers to help. We are looking for coats & clothing in all sizes (baby through adult). This is one of the PGO's most important events of the year & a great way to help our community.

Upcoming @ ARPS:
**Tues, Nov 3rd. Amherst School Committee meeting, 6 pm, ARHS Library. The School Committee is expected to take a vote at the meeting on which proposed elementary school building option to support to the next stage. To find out more about the Amherst elementary school building study, you can visit the project's web page (here) or the district's Facebook page for the project.
The Wildwood PGO has created an
online feedback form to encourage input from
parents, teachers, school staff, & community members about the
district's recommendation to consolidate the current three K-6 Amherst
public elementary schools into two schools: a K-1 school at Crocker
Farm (which also houses the district's preK program) & a grades
2-6 school at a location still tbd. The link to the Wildwood PGO's online feedback form is below, &
the form is available in both English & Spanish. Those wanting
to give feedback to the district about its recommendations can also
email the Amherst School Committee at schoolcommittee@arps.org. Like the Wildwood PGO, the Crocker Farm PGO is taking no position on the
building study & the district's recommendations, & is
providing information on the project & the feedback form link
only as a service to help our families learn more about the project
& help them give an easy way to provide feedback should they care to
do so.
