Read-a-Thon
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!
