Arete Christmas Celebrations

We are so excited to announce our Family Christmas Party! This is one of my favorite nights of the year and it is BACK!! This community event is open to ALL Arete Families! On Thursday December 5 from 4:30 to 5:20 AND 5:30-6:20pm we are inviting families to come join in a Christmas craft together (painting a winter design on a decorative paint brush) while we listen to Christmas music and enjoy potluck snack/treats. Local artist, Susie Bell, will be leading our painting activity! Arete will provide juice and paper products and we are asking families to please bring a food item to share.When you sign up, please select ONE slot for each person 2+ who wants to paint an art project. If slots fill up and you still want to attend, please email me to be added to the waiting list. Please give at least 24 hours for any cancellations. All families are invited as this is an evening event open to the community.

In addition, we are planning our Arete Resource Center Pajama Ice Skating Party. This event promises to be lots of fun and we will need some help with family volunteers and supplies. This was a tradition at the original Pleasant Ridge School and we are bringing it back. We are building a mini ice skating rink in the MPR, bringing in fake snow and students will skate around on paper plates. 

The 4-8th Hybrid Resource Center Party with Ms. Doerr and Mrs. Veblen AND the BMS Party will be Wednesday, December 18 from 11:15-11:55.

Ms. Tomasetti's, Ms. McAlister, and Mrs. Codiga's Resource Center Party will be Thursday, December 19 from 11:15-11:55. SANTA WILL BE HERE THURSDAY FROM 11:15-11:55 FOR CHRISTMAS PICTURES. 

The Blended Middle School will also have a special craft project with Susie Bell on Thursday, December 19 from 1:15-2pm.

Please review the slots carefully to see how you can help! Don't forget to wear your jammies!! Students must meet state mandated vaccine requirements to attend this event.
