SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS

A Day For Friendship

Friday, February 14th is Great Hearts Day! We have reserved this special day to focus on the virtue of friendship and celebrate the traits that make a great-hearted student. Teachers are planning interactive and fun activities centered around these topics. Archway Arete strives to cultivate a rich, academic environment rooted in the classical tradition. Many times this requires popular culture to be left at the door. On that note, students will not be permitted to bring store-bought valentines, candy, or gifts to school. Thank you for partnering with us.

Library Volunteering

The School Library is in need of volunteers ! We need help with the student check-out process and keeping the shelves in order between class visits. If you are able to help, we would love to have you!
