Dear 2B Families,
Happy Friday! Thank you for reading our new blog! We are still in need of volunteers to help wth Field Day next Friday. Please use this sign up to help donate items to our class or stay with the kiddos as they rotate through stations. Please read through our last blog post with important announcements about Field Day.
A Day for Friendship - Wednesday, 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, and time will be set aside for students to create hand-made Great Hearts Day cards for their classmates. Archway Arete strives to cultivate a rich, academic environment rooted in the classical tradition. This many times 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.
Scholar Shout-Outs:
Happy Birthday to Henry & Ethan! They both turned 8 this week! EIGHT is GREAT :-)!
We celebrated the end of our Ancient Greece unit today! Thank you to Landon's mom for picking up some special Greek treats for us to enjoy :-)!
