Great Hearts Day
Thursday, February 11th
is Great Hearts Day! We have reserved this special day to focus on the
virtue of friendship and having a heart of service. In the classroom,
your children will participate in
activities and lessons around these topics, and time will be set aside
for making Great Hearts Day cards for classmates. These cards are part
of the Great Hearts Day tradition of highlighting classmates’ virtuous
qualities and invaluable friendship. There will also be a short afternoon
celebration with snacks and activities.
From Administration:
Archway Classical
Academy does its best to introduce students to an academic culture that
leaves popular culture at the door. The time we have with our students
is so valuable, and there are many great ideas,
people, music, and art from the ages that we want to introduce them to.
Therefore, we will strive to keep the focus of Valentine’s Day on
friendship and having a heart of service for others.
Students will not be permitted to bring store-bought valentines,
candy, or gifts to school on Great Hearts Day. We want students to
remember that a good friend is not something one can purchase. We look forward to celebrating this special occasion!
