Sunday, February 4 Update
Hello all,
New updates are all in bold and continuing information is in regular type. Hope that helps!
"Math Masterminds" is a fun math night for the whole family. All Arete families are invited. You are invited Thursday, February 8, 5:30-6:30 pm to the Arete MPR for an evening of 'make & take' math activities hosted by Mrs. Tamo and other Arete teachers followed by a Math "Spy Adventure" Escape Room. All participants are invited to come dressed in black as part of our SUPER SPY team. Your family will leave that night with several activities that promote math and maybe a raffle prize. We will have some fun math theme prizes. Please come and join us for this fun math adventure. This is a free event for all.
Spring Enrichments are available now for Sign Ups. Also, the missed Archery class last Monday will not be rescheduled as it would run into the next trimester so each child signed up for the class will have $30 returned to their funding accounts. Spring Enrichments 2024 March through May
We are looking for about 1/3 cord of wood for an Arete field trip to Sutter’s Fort in late April. Cody Voellinger is willing to pick it up and deliver it to the first. Yeah! Does anyone know of any free dry foreword out there? Any kind will do! Thanks in advance!
Read A Thon Forms 2024 We are so excited to announce our Read-A-Thon is off to a great start with kids already excited to read around the world. Red reading passports are available in the front office to document reading time. There are prizes for reading enough minutes to reach the next country. 20% of funds raised by getting sponsors to support student reading minutes are given in Book Bucks to be spent at the book fair.

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!
