Week 36

Good morning 1C families!

I hope you all had a restful weekend! I have some wonderful news to share with you. My fiance and I found out he will be doing his residency for anesthesia in Milwaukee, Wisconsin starting in June of this year! We are very excited about the move, as I have a lot of family in that area. This does mean, however I will not be returning to Archway Arete next year. I will miss the school and all of you very much! Arete has been my home for the last two years and I thank you all for making it such a wonderful experience. I would appreciate your discretion in sharing this with your children, as I will be letting them know on the last week of school.

In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,

Sarah Kaye
