3.A. The student spotlight for December will focus on Arbor View Elementary's Inside Out Club. Inside Out is a school-wide club for students who want to make a positive impact on the world. The club starts in the fall when students in third, fourth, and fifth grades participate in service projects while developing leadership skills. Those students become the leaders and mentors when students in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade join the club in the spring. This is the eighth year of Inside Out at Arbor View. This year, the club will be hosting a Day of Service event for the first time. 

3.B. Congratulations to 8th graders: Lillian Archer, Amelia Bartoli, Nora Martinez, and Sophie Sweeney and 7th grader: Hannah Mastro.
