Athletic Field Day
Greetings Chargers! We are excited to announce Athletic Field Day for 2020. Athletic Field Day will be held Friday, January 31st from 8:30-11:00 am for K-2nd and 12:00-2:30 pm for 3rd-5th. This fun event will take place on the field and in the gym. It is going to be a long busy day, so no school lunch will be provided on Athletic Field day. Please send your scholar to school with a lunch.
Each student will need to be dressed in the color shirt assigned to their class to match their classmates, which can be decorated with the Greek City State their class is representing. If your scholar is in section A their color is red, section B color is Yellow, and section C is blue. The Greek City State for each class is as follows: KA/3A are Athens, KB/3C are Crete, KC/3B are Croton, 1A/5B are Sparta, 1B/5A are Corinth, 1C/4C are Argos, 2A/5C are Macedonia, 2B/4A are Thebes, and 2C/4B are Persia. Students should wear athletic clothing free of pop culture references. Sports team and brand logos are acceptable on clothing. Athletic shoes are mandatory (any color). Hats and sunglasses may be worn. Sunscreen must be applied at home. Please see the
Family Handbook
for more detailed information if you have any further questions regarding the dress code.
In order to assure that Athletic Field Day is fun and runs smoothly, we need your help! Volunteers are needed for setting up and running the event. If you are able to come in on Friday, January 31st and help us out, please use
this link
to sign up. We look forward to seeing many of you at this fun-filled event.
Best Regards,
Coach Gethings and Coach Warren
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.
