Thank you so much to our school speech pathologists!!!

“To communicate is truly a gift. It is a wondrous ability of your amazing human body,

the ability that allows us to connect with other humans to give meaning to our lives.

I will argue that it is what makes us human.”

― Kathleen Depperschmidt,The Tip of Your Tongue: A Speech Therapist Tribute to the Power of Communication Lost and Found

Summer is right around the corner! We know many families are still looking to fill gaps in their summer schedules—here's a quick reminder why Camp Galileo is an awesome choice:

• New hands-on projects for 2024 give kids a different adventure every week

• Extended care lasts as long as your day: 8am–6pm

• Classic camp fun makes every day magical with fun machine runs, silly skits, rubber chicken cheers, and more

• Innovation skills like determination, resilience, and collaboration grow at camp and last long after summer ends

Registration for the 2024-2025 opened on April 15. If you haven't received the registration email or have any questions, please email registration@avoca37.org. Each returning student will receive a separate email containing an embedded "snapcode" which is unique to that student. Please complete registration by May 30, 2024.

Similar to last year, Pre-K students enrolled at Avoca Community Preschool will not receive a returning student registration link. If your child is transitioning to kindergarten at Avoca West, you will receive a new student registration link once we have received all required pre-registration documents.
