We are so excited to announce that we have received a grant from NCSOS and are spending a large portion of it on Sami's Circuit. We will be kicking off this year long initiative on Thursday, April 25 with two assemblies. Please come on campus and join us. TK-3rd Grades will be from 9:30-10:15 and 4-8th Grades will be from 10:30-11:15. Following for the next year will be weekly 20 minute videos that model healthy choice and behaviors and get kids moving! We will also have three virtual Family Nights (we may Zoom in for one from the Arete MPR) where families can tune in for energetic fun and motivation. We hope you will join us for some of these fun and healthy events!
You're invited to Arete’s Craft Fair!! Friday April 26th, 2024 from 12:30-1:30pm. We are really hoping lots of people will come and shop too. That really adds to the fun for the families participating. Arete current and former families and students will be selling crafts that they made. There will be a raffle at 1:30pm, and you can buy raffle tickets for $1 each. This is a fundraiser for our school. We will have an area where you can put donations for our school. For example library books, craft supplies, food and bedding for the chickens, playground toys for the younger kids etc…. We hope that you can come join us!!

In each layout I have included; the summary of this month's theme, a video link with discussion/talking points, and a resiliency booster activity with a link.
Overall Monthly Theme: Lift the Weight

Click the above link to sign up to help. 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!!!
Remember to email Sarah at [email protected] a few days before a kiddos’ birthday if you want to send in treats so I can check for food allergies. Nuts are never allowed, but some individual classes have food allergies that I also monitor closely. Thanks for keeping our students safe. We also strongly encourage healthier treats if possible as some families closely monitor their kiddos’ sugar and food dye intake.
Please remember that we are a NUT FREE school as we have several students with severe nut allergies. Kiddos may enjoy nut free granola bars and spreads on their sandwiches and all the nut free favorites when away from Arete. Thanks!

Hello all,
Last week was one for the books. We had an amazing turnout for the book fair, which brings money to our donation fund and new books for the library. We had our first parent-led fundraiser with Papa Murphy’s, PRSD’s school board held a meeting at Arete (and could not stop raving about our beautiful campus, happy chickens, and awesome projects at the wonderful Arete Student Showcase.) Ah, I LOVE our sweet school!
3-8th Grade CAASPP & 5th & 7th Grade Physical Fitness Testing 2023 Starts this week. Please send your kiddo with their charged Chromebook (if they have an Arete issued one), a snack, water bottle, and some lessons to work on if they finish testing early. They can complete one test tomorrow before the break, and then can start the second test after the break if they are ready. Teachers will walk them down to the front of school for pick up at 11:55. If they get done early, they can read their book or work on their lessons. We will also have a drawing at the end of each testing session to reward kiddos for coming in and trying their hardest. We all KNOW that there are many ways to show growth and that state testing is only one way. We will do everything we can to make their a non-stressful environment where our sweet kiddos are encouraged to try their best and show what they have learned this year!
*Arete’s 3rd Talent Show is coming Tuesday, April 16 at 11am. All are invited! Please arrive at 10:30 to get good seats and purchase something from the snack bar! Bring a blanker or chair to sit out on the grass.
