The 2026 Italy trip will take place next Summer!! This is an exciting opportunity for our students to experience the magic of Italy- where we’ll ride gondolas through Venice, stand beneath Michelangelo’s masterpieces in Florence, and walk the same roads as Roman emperors. You’ll see history come to life in the Colosseum, eat the best pasta of your life, and make memories you'll never forget. This is more than a trip- it’s an adventure through art, culture, and the coolest parts of history!

Steph Fritz will be hosting an informational meeting at 6:00PM on Wednesday 23rd April in room A108 in the Annex. See the meeting details and register for the meeting here: https://bit.ly/4jhGawi As a reminder, a parent or guardian registration is mandatory. If you can't make the meeting, please let Steph know through this link and she will follow up with you afterwards. You can also email her at sfritz@sau39.org.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Hi everyone, my name is Tess Jancar! For my senior project, I am creating a pop-up thrift store using clothes that were donated by students within the school to try and beat fast fashion and give back to the community. My pop-up shop will be held on Tuesday, April 22nd (Earth Day), between the Annex and Main building, if the weather allows it. It will be open for the entirety of the school day from 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM, so visit us before or after school, lunch/advisory, or if you have a free period! I will be accepting VENMO and Cash, all proceeds and leftover clothes will go to SHARE Outreach in Milford. I hope to see you there!

Celebrating the Senior class is a special tradition here in Amherst. This year the PTSA will sponsor the Senior Class Trip to Canobie! All tickets will be free to participating students, as well as a concession voucher.
