This Week at AV!

It’s been a busy week at AV! From Sip & Spoke and Community Coffee to our TK/Kinder Playdate, orientations, and Staff Appreciation, there’s been a lot happening around campus. Want to see it all? Head over to Instagram for photos and highlights from the week.

Playdates and Picnics!
Join us for  Grade-Level Playground Socials!

Starting August 21, the PTA will be hosting grade-level playdates! These Friday Night Socials are a chance for families to meet, socialize, and connect with others in their grade while giving kids a little extra time to play on the playground.

Whether you are new to AV or this is your last year, bring a picnic and come join us. It is a great opportunity to meet other caregivers, put faces to names, and start building connections within your grade
