Although I won't be here next year to see the magic in action, I will be working with our AW staff later this spring to draft classroom communities for the coming school year. Please check your email to note the many details/explanations, and what parents or caregivers can do to provide input in order to ensure an equitable process for all.

News You Can Use - From Avoca's Parent-Teacher Council (PTC)
Support Innovation in Our Schools!
The PTC’s Innovation Grants program empowers teachers and staff by providing funding for exciting, creative, and impactful ideas that enhance learning both in and out of the classroom. Teachers apply through a formal grant process, with submissions carefully reviewed by the Innovation Grants Committee. More information on the process can be found here.
To make these grants possible, we rely solely on community donations. Your contribution—no matter the amount—directly supports teachers and their innovative ideas. This is the only fundraising method for the program, and every dollar helps bring fresh, engaging opportunities to our students.
Make a Difference Today!
To donate, log in to the Membership Toolkit here and select "Innovation Grant Donation" from the left navigation menu. Thank you for your support!
