Three Days Left to Fund our School!

We’re so grateful for the incredible support that made Wish Night a success for our classrooms and teachers. Now, with just 3 days left before No Sweat closes on October 14, we’re asking for your help one more time.

No Sweat funds our school. From Movie Night and field trips to the copy paper we use every day, your No Sweat donation helps make the programs, events, and everyday essentials at AV possible.

We may not reach our $48,000 goal, but every gift brings us closer and helps us protect the things that make AV special. If you haven’t had a chance to give, please consider making a donation before the campaign closes.

Three days. Every dollar counts.

Still Time to Enter Reflections!

Does your child love the arts? Reflections is a national PTA arts program where students can share their creativity through original artwork inspired by this year’s theme, “What My Culture Means To Me.”

We’ve extended the deadline to Sunday, October 11th, giving students a little extra time to finish and submit their work.

Whether it’s dance, photography, writing, visual art, or music, we want to hear their voice and see their creativity!See the flyer below for submission details.

AV Parent Party: Pajama Party | November 7th!

Remember when a night out didn’t require quite so much planning? We can’t promise an early bedtime, but we can promise a fun night out.

Throw on your PJs and join us for dinner from Woon, drinks, music, a photo booth, and a video game tournament where the winner takes all. Plus, we have a few other goodies up our sleeves.

No fundraising, no agenda, no volunteering. Just a chance to get a sitter, get out of the house, and have some fun. We’ve even lowered ticket prices this year to make it easier for more of you to make it out.

One ticket covers dinner, drinks, entertainment, and more. What are you waiting for? Grab your tickets today!

November 7 | 6–10 PM
Private residence. Address shared upon ticket purchase.

AV’s Got a New Home (base)!

You’ve taken your First Steps, and now you’ve got a Homebase!

Wildcat Homebase is your one-stop spot for all kinds of PTA things. You can find membership, check out each classroom’s Wish Night campaign, update your volunteer preferences, and, if you’re a PTA member, access our school directory.

You don’t need an account to take a look, although we’d love for you to create one so you can keep everything in one place and easily come back anytime.

Consider this your invitation to come on home and take a peek!
