Car Wash Fundraiser Success
Congratulations and thank you to all who were able to make our 8th-grade carwash a success! We reached our goal of $3,000 towards the 8th-grade celebration and class gift! A special thank you to all our supporters from donating supplies, parent volunteers, attendees of the event, and of course our 8th graders. Everyone working together on such a beautiful fall day made the event an absolute blast! Thank you again, from the 8th Grade Fundraising Committee

Contact Elizabeth Weismehl at [email protected] for further information. Thank you for your continued support of Choir and Music at Avoca. I can't wait to hear your children's voices raised in song!
Avoca West Morning Yoga
This year, Mrs. Bowman and Mrs. Raczyla will be teaming up to offer three sessions for third through fifth graders on Friday mornings at 7:30. Our morning yoga class will help students start the day with calm and focused energy. Through breathing exercises, yoga postures, and playful collaborative activities, students will learn to strengthen their minds and bodies. Yoga can teach healthy habits for reducing stress and worry, focusing attention, and building self-confidence in addition to developing strength, balance, and flexibility. The benefits of yoga can stay with you for a lifetime...and it is FUN! This Thursday, September 30 is the last day to sign up with this form.

If you want to access the AtoZ database, everyone needs to create a new account here even if you had an account on the old system. Don't forget to download the membership toolkit app on your phone. That's the new app that everyone has to use to access AtoZ. There are quick links on the app and website and if you have any other suggestions, please email Ann Heinz at [email protected].
