Hello Current and Incoming Aspen View Academy Families,

The AVA PTO is honored to serve the AVA Community! The PTO consists of 8 parent volunteers (PTO Officers). The mission of the PTO is to organize, communicate, and facilitate various activities and fundraisers that align with the school’s policies and mission and vision while providing positive interaction and/or fostering support among the AVA parents, teachers, staff, administration, and the surrounding community.  

The primary focus of the PTO is fundraising for AVA; this year, all funds raised through our golf tournament will go 100% to support literacy needs and upgrading the AVA Library. Our upcoming 2nd Golf Tournament is right around the corner and will be held on Friday, May 3 at Plum Creek Golf Course. Last year’s tournament was so much fun; we are really looking forward to even more fun this year! Follow this link to register. Following the tournament there will be a dinner and auction. If you aren’t able to join us for golf, please consider joining us for dinner! In addition to registering for the golf tournament, we also have sponsorship opportunities available. We love partnering with our families – view the sponsorship package here

There is more! If you can’t attend the tournament on May 3 but would like to make a donation to support the Literacy and Library upgrades, you can make a direct donation here.

All funds raised through our golf tournament will go 100% to support literacy needs and upgrading the AVA Library. 

Look below for a sneak peek of what our new Library will look like.

Looking to get more involved at AVA? The PTO has the following openings:
  • PTO Fundraising Chair
  • PTO Event Chair
  • PTO Treasurer
  • PTO Marketing Officer

Getting involved with the PTO is a fun way to get to know other parents all while making a positive impact on your child(s) school! In the coming weeks we will be rolling out our plans for the 2019- 2020 school year, keep an eye out, and get involved! In the meantime, if you have any questions, please email pto@aspenviewacademy.org.

All the best,
Rachelle Nye
AVA PTO Chair
