Our THIRD Annual Arete Student Showcase is May 6 and 7 this year from 9:15-9:45 in the MPR. Please bring items to the MPR between 8:30-9am on Tuesday. This is an awesome event where students can bring in 2D or 3D projects that they have worked on this year and are proud of. We will have a museum walk those two mornings and would love to have parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, neighbors, etc come view the awesome projects and ask the students about them. |

Arete’s first Music Showcase is THIS Thursday from 9:30-10am. All students who participate in music classes with Mr. Horton will be performing along with some of our pianists. We are hoping lots of families will come and cheer them on! There will be performances by Ms. McAlister and Mrs. Codiga’s Resource classes, our Blended Middle School Percussion class and Mrs. Veblen’s 4-8th grade class if we can get enough of those kiddos to show up on a Thursday. Email [email protected] with questions! |

Hello Arete Families! Arete's first dance with a "Prom" theme is around the corner! The Blended Middle School Leadership class has been working hard to plan an event all students will enjoy!

Tickets are being sold at the front office for $10 each of exact cash or check. 5th-8th graders are allowed to attend and they are able to bring a guest from another school.
