There are dozens of behind-the-scenes people who diligently work to make our school as inviting and safe as it is. From the wonderful women who fill our bellies to the hard-workers who line the field and keep our facilities clean, they’re people we couldn’t attend school without. In an attempt to shine a spotlight on these amazing people, media writing will be writing a weekly article about a member of the staff. We invite you to read and learn more about these amazing staff members!
Our second star employee is-Patty Orwick!
We’ve asked Patty some hard-hitting questions to learn more about her:
Name: Patty Orwick
How long have you worked at this school: This is my 8th yr.
Something you wish the students at the school knew about you, your job, or just life in general: I graduated from AHS also and worked for 22yrs in banking before working at the school. And that I have a name other than “lunch lady”.
What made you choose this job: I wanted to spend more time with my kids.
What's your favorite thing to do during work: I like that every day is different and I get to know all the kids.

What your least favorite thing to do during work: Wait on rude kids! Maybe cleanup at the end of the day.
[Lunch workers only] What’s your favorite meal that you prepare for the school lunches: I like making almost everything except fish.
What's your favorite thing to do during your day off: Spend time with family, gardening or just being outside.
Where is the most interesting place you’ve been: Probably California, New York, and Disney
What are some small things that make your day better: Polite kids, joking around with co-workers.
We’d like to thank Patty and all the others who help our school run smoothly. Come back next week to learn more about the next employee we interview!

It is hard to believe but the time has arrived for our 1923 Arlington School Building to be taken down.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to take down the building.
The demolition of the building will begin on Monday, June 22. Crews will work extended hours to get the building down in a short two-week period rather than a longer two-month period.
For those interested, outside of the construction fence, there will be a pile of bricks where you are welcome to take a souvenir brick. Bricks will only be available for two weeks and will then be cleaned up.
Please mark August 1st at 10:00 am on your calendar for our dedication to the new building.
