Staff Appreciation Week

Let’s taco-bout how great you are - Taco bar
We only have a few weeks left and still have not received any donations and we need your help!
Hi Arete Family! Staff appreciation week is coming up in May! We are planning lots of special treats for our amazing staff but we need your help to make it possible. I have attached a signup for one of the days. Be on the lookout for more to come. Also we are in need of monetary donations so we can provide the staff with chair massages and some other fun things. Please contact Samantha Randall if you can contribute financially. We also need help with setting up and cleaning up. Please message me if you can help in any way. THANK YOU!!!

An Arete teacher will meet you there. Please watch dates closely and make note of the field trips that require prepayment for adult chaperones.

Offering a rigorous academic curriculum to all its students.
Committed to maintaining high expectations for both academic and personal performance.
Believing that students deserve the opportunity to have instruction delivered in a way that is meaningful and accessible to them.
