Arete Showcase 📷 Summer 2021
Our Summer Showcase of Student Talent and Learning took place August 5th. 

The on-site showcase was run by students, who were able to present their work, talents, and learnings to other enrichment clubs and high school interns.  

The showcase was conducted while still following all COVID-19 guidelines.

Weekly, students have been receiving special lunches for attending Monday-Friday, to celebrate their perfect attendance. Every perfect attendance student was able to delight in a slice of pizza as seen here. 

Interview with Parent Coordinator Wanda Hill   
 

What is your role as parent coordinator? “As the parent coordinator I build relationships with the families of students and attempt to assist them with various issues that may hinder them from helping their child be a productive student. Arete Education has taken on a lot in this area so I now am able to focus on workshops and presentations that will educate parents and families on the numerous services available to them. I assist parent volunteers (Parent Association and Title One executive board members) in their quest to engage parents and offer them educational and social workshops.” 

What will be happening during the school year? “For the upcoming school year, we will have two parent meetings. A virtual Town Hall and an in-person workshop.”
