On December 7th at 6:30 PM, Aristoi, committed to the healthy formation of our children, hosts SCREENAGERS Next Chapter. This documentary explores the high stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by our children because of the digital age. In a little more than 60 minutes, you will discover how to empower your children to overcome mental health difficulties, build communication strategies, stress resilience, and more.

Due to your generous donations and belief in investing in mental health and wellness at Aristoi's Topgolf 2021, this event is free.

Parents and children ages 11 and up are invited to attend.

Seating is limited, however, so we ask you to please pre-register here.

Outerwear Options for 2021-2022
Aristoi understands that there is some difficulty in finding outerwear that meets the Aristoi criteria. Many of our approved vendors do not have the appropriate Aristoi navy and heather jackets in stock.

If the weather is below the temperature suitable for dress code compliance, personal coats or jackets may be worn outside only, at the discretion of the Aristoi administration.

Following are options that will resolve some of the issues of locating the appropriate outerwear.

  • Port Authority Youth Team Jacket (see picture above)
  • Port Authority Team Jacket

*Embroidery of the school logo is $10.00 per jacket and names are an
additional $3.00 per jacket.
