My time here at Archway Arete has been short
but ever so sweet! From the elaborate
class parties and rich Socratic dialog supported by 7 year olds, found in the
heart of sweetest first grade souls I have ever worked with, this 16-17 school
year is one I will hold close to my heart forever. I found myself making my way
back home about a year ago this time, with a feeling of such excitement and
gratitude as I was welcomed into the Arete family. This past year has opened many doors and shed
so much light on classical education and the magic of Great Hearted leadership
that guides the great hearted scholars, found at Arete especially. I admire the
guidance and insurmountable support I received all year long from Headmaster
Gillingham and Assistant Headmaster, Ms. Pantanlena. I was jumping into a new
form and way of education, one that I had to trust that I should be a part of.
With their consideration and seeing the big picture, I was able to be a part of
it. Now reflecting upon this opportunity
I know that this year is a small but mighty part in my teaching journey. I had the chance each and every school day to
not only instill rigorous academics, but also nurture all my scholars in a way
that they developed kind hearts and a strong moral compass for what is
true. It has been such a blessing to be
apart of your child’s educational journey and hope I leave them with the
confidence and happiness to achieve any goals they have set their minds on! I
have seen all of them grow into strong, smiley, and smart 2nd
graders. The joy that walked through the door each morning made it all the more
rewarding, I can honestly say I looked forward to the day, everyday! The next
stepping-stone for me resides at 7,000 feet as I make my way up to fabulous
Flagstaff; I have a chance to start my graduate program through NAU. I will be
going back to school for Administration, specifically in the area of
Principalship. I was guided so
professionally and have been inspired this past school year; that I know it is
where my heart leads me. I will be saying goodbye to faculty, families, and
most of all scholars with a sadness to leave but know amazing things will
continue for them all. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to support and
love your child! I encourage all families and students, as I always do after
another school year, to reach out to me at any time at my personal email, caseyn1320@gmail.com. I wish all my
families a summer full of sunshine and a 2nd grade year filled with
much success!
