School Events

Open House

Multiple Open Houses take place throughout the school year: The first is the week before school starts. At this event students meet their teacher, drop off supplies, and get familiar with the building.

The second Open House takes place in January and is an opportunity for prospective families to see Armatage before filling out their enrollment request with the district.

The third Open House takes place at the very end of the school year. This is an opportunity for incoming Kindergarten students and their families to meet new classmates, the Kindergarten teachers, and see the school before starting their summer break.  

Tears and Cheers

This is an event that takes place on the first day of Kindergarten just after drop off. It is a great way for Kindergarten parents and new families to celebrate the first day and connect with current Armatage families to get all their questions answered. 

Student of the Month Ceremonies

This ceremony is held each month to honor students that exemplify the month's theme (ex. "belief - believe in yourself"). Families and Caretakers are welcome to come see their students receive their certificate. The program takes place in the Theater, followed by juice and cookies in the cafeteria. (This event is on HOLD for 2021-2022 due to COVID, but we hope to bring it back next school year).


Armatage Family Fun Walk

The Family Fun Walk takes place every Fall and is a great way to meet Armatage families and build our school community. Students and their families gather on a Saturday morning to walk around the Armatage block. There are stops set up along the way with fun events and challenges and the walk ends with a big breakfast. This event is also Armatage PTA's largest fundraiser of the year. 

Book Fair

The annual Scholastic Book Fair is a magical and unforgettable experience where all kids get to enjoy a shopping experience with their class. This event takes place in November/December each year. With help from the PTA, all students will take home a book.

Skating Night - Fire & Ice

This winter family event takes place at Armatage park. Families can ice skate, play in the snow, enjoy s'mores, and get to know the friends that their student has made this year.


Pits & Alleys

This beloved annual event takes place in P.E. class during the week before Spring Break. The exciting obstacle course is one of the kids' favorite events. Volunteers are welcome to come cheer on the students and share in the fun.


Celebration of Reading Night

This event takes place on a weekday evening at Armatage. Families are welcomed into the building to enjoy readings by both students and local authors. There are also crafts, snacks, and sales by local bookstores.


Read-a-thon

Armatage PTA hosts a Spring fundraiser and new for 2022 the event will be a 2 week read-a-thon kicked off by the Celebration of Reading night at school. Armatage students are encouraged to read every day for two weeks to help build the love of reading for our students while also raising money for our school. 

Field Day

Spending the day outside when Spring fever hits makes this a favorite event for students. Each student has the opportunity to compete amongst their peers at events such as the shoe kick, limbo, and dash. Families love soaking up the sun on the sidelines cheering on the fun. Snacks and school spirit are enjoyed by all.

Gallery A

Gallery A, the Armatage Spring Art Show is a highlight of the school year. The art show is held in the big gym and it features four art pieces from each student. In addition to viewing the wonderful work of our students, there will be activities, snacks, a community art project and a silent auction. 

Spring Music Show

Armatage's annual music show features a performance from each grade level led by Ms. Anita. (This event is on hold for the 2021-2022 school year due to COVID, but we hope to bring it back next school year). 


Carnival

The carnival is the last celebration of the school year and is a great way to celebrate all the hard work students put in throughout the year. This is a fun event held in the big gym in early June.

5th Grade Graduation

At the end of the year, Armatage hosts a 5th grade graduation ceremony to send our 5th graders off in style. Traditionally this event is planned and ran by 4th grade parents.
