🌎💡 Looking back on the 2025–26 school year, the ARMS Climate Carnival stood out as a powerful example of student-centered, interdisciplinary learning.

Throughout the day, students explored topics ranging from electric vehicles and environmental justice to climate-focused art and community action. Through workshops, guest speakers, outdoor learning experiences, and collaborative activities, students engaged with one of the most important challenges facing their generation.

More importantly, they explored it through a lens of possibility.

The Climate Carnival reminded students that climate change is not just something to study. It is an opportunity to think critically, work collaboratively, and contribute to meaningful solutions.

As ARPS reflects on another year of learning, experiences like the Climate Carnival demonstrate what is possible when students are empowered to ask big questions, connect with their community, and see themselves as part of the solution. ❤️💛🩶

📸🔵 Looking back on the 2025–26 school year, one of the many creative projects that stood out came from our 8th grade artists.

Students explored cyanotypes, one of the earliest photographic processes, by blending modern digital photography with a historic art form that dates back to the 19th century.

After capturing and editing their own photographs, students used sunlight to transform their designs into cyanotype prints, watching as the images developed into the process's signature blue through a fascinating oxidation process.

The project brought together art, science, history, and technology in a way that was both hands-on and deeply creative.

As we reflect on another year of learning across ARPS, experiences like this remind us that some of the most memorable lessons happen when students are encouraged to experiment, create, and connect ideas across disciplines. ❤️💛🩶
