8/20 4-8pm - Falcons Dine Out! at Chipotle on Broadway. Say you're there for the Alice Vail fundraiser and 25% of your bill goes to the PTSA. You'll be seeing more about this on our socials and if you're signed up for the PTSA emails.
8/22 5:30-6:30pm - PTSA Kick-Off in the AVMS Cafeteria. Parents, students, siblings, family are all welcome to give input in shaping the PTSA's goals for the year. We also need to fill the Treasurer and VP spots and introducing the concept of a VP of each grade. (Want more family engagement in your grade? Wish there were dances and social events for our kids? Want your 8th grader to have an awesome party to graduate? This is how we do that!)
