Virtue Certificates and Stickers
The school year is in full swing and I am excited to share with parents our next project in support of our thematic goal: Be Good to Each Other and Noble Together. In order to positively reinforce when students are seen exercising one of our nine core virtues, teachers will begin recognizing students using stickers that read: “Good & Noble”. In turn, these stickers will be added to a certificate that, when filled, will be signed and sent home to families to share in the fun. Additionally, when the certificate is complete, students’ names will be added to leaves on a large virtue tree in our multi-purpose room to show our collective good work. All of our teachers will have stickers in-hand this week and will be on the lookout to catch students being good!

Academy Giving | Our Community in Action!
“A Peek Inside Builders Club”
| |
|
We are thrilled to know that so many of our Archway families are taking advantage of the variety of extracurriculars offered after school at our Academy. One example, featured here today, is our builder’s club for Kinder and 1st grade. Scholars get the opportunity to explore their creativity by building with different block sets, and our amazing team of faculty members is there to provide support, ideas, and a whole lot of fun!
Because of your contributions to our Tax Credit drive, our scholars are able to take part in many after school extracurriculars like this one. Tax credits also allow us to cover field trip costs like transportation, entry fees, and more, so that our scholars can enjoy experiences outside the classroom and take part in character-building programs that encourage learning and help them become great hearted leaders.
The quality of education delivered at our school is only possible with your generous support and we are grateful. Thank you!
Contribute your tax credit to Archway Arete today (before you file)!
