Mark your calendars for our second
annual Read-a-thon! This special day will be on Friday, October 30th, and will
occur alongside our first on-site book fair! Students may come to school
dressed as their favorite classical literary characters, scientists, or historical
figures. The goal of this event is to stir a continuous love for reading and an
opportunity for lifelong learning. Costumes need not come directly from the
grade level curriculum, though they must be classically on-mission. We kindly
ask that you send costume ideas to your classroom teacher for approval by
Friday, October 23rd. Be sure that costumes allow students to engage in regular
school day activities like recess, lunch, and some curricular instruction. The
headmasters, teachers, fellow scholars, and students' family members will read
to students throughout the day. The Read-a-thon will be a huge celebration of
reading for our entire school community!
Book
Fair
The Archway Arete book fair will
run from Monday, October 26th - Friday, October 30th in the resource
room. We look forward to providing this exciting opportunity for students and
parents to purchase books for their personal and classroom libraries. The class
that purchases the most books from the week-long book fair will be awarded a
pizza party. Profits from the book fair will go directly to children's books
for the Arete library. The book fair will be open for parents at specific times
during the school day, so please plan to attend! There are prizes to be won for
participating!
