  Uniform Shorts: March 1
Due to unseasonably warm weather this year, students will be allowed to wear their uniform shorts beginning on March 1st. This is a change to the school handbook, which previously allowed shorts after Spring Break. 
Senior Drama Performance

Mark your calendars for an evening of comedic drama on Friday, February 27th! Section 12B will be performing two comedies by Anton Chekhov: "The Wedding" at 6:00 p.m. and "The Anniversary" at 7:15. Each performance will last about 45 minutes and the two plays will be separated by refreshments and a chance to meet more of the Arete community! 

Epic Poetry Night
Please join us as teachers and students perform a dramatic reading of "The Poetic Edda" from Norse mythology featuring Thor, Odin, and Loki. The event will be held on March 6 from 6-9 p.m. in the gym. All ages are welcome to listen, play games, and everyone is encouraged to come dressed for a costume contest. Any students or teachers who would like to participate in the dramatic reading should see Mr. Jordan for a part.
