A 38th year tradition continues as our 4th graders met their Dieterich pen pals. They have written back and forth all year and were so excited to finally meet them.







This morning, Arthur CUSD 305 celebrated and recognized our mentors and mentees for this school year. We would like to thank each of our mentors: Kim Cheek, Sage Hale, Cara Blaudow, Jared Blaudow, Ada Gingerich, Anita Krutsinger, Sharon Rocke, Margo Blaudow, Kenzi Bowles, and Kevin Huffman. If you are interested in becoming a mentor for the 2023-2024 school year, please reach out to Amanda Romine at romineam@cusd305.org.

Good morning AGS Families,
Due to a mechanical problem with the office doors, the front doors of the school will be locked for the next week. This will change our arrival for parents. Please call the office for entry and we will send someone outside to let families inside.
