In September, our friends at Your Arlington published a story about the changes to SNAP benefits made by the current administration and how that will impact our neighbors, friends, and community.
This deeply resonated with our team, and we wanted to take the opportunity to share the article with the rest of our community. There is no better time than the present to look out for one another.

From November 12-18, Arlington School PTOs are working together on a Town-Wide Essentials Drive. You can donate grocery store gift cards, send money to Arlington EATS, or donate new bottles of shampoo & conditioner.
If you or someone you know in Arlington is in need of assistance, the Spy Ponder Threads Closet (located in the APS Welcome & Resource Center) is open to all families in Arlington Public Schools.
