Celebrating Overall Success

Aspen View Academy is quickly approaching the end of another successful school year. It is important to celebrate success in our personal lives as well as within a community like AVA because it allows us all to grow and develop new and old skills. Celebrating success also allows us to learn and adapt as well as helps keep us motivated. Since the school opened 6 years ago there has been so many accomplishments for the school to celebrate. Sitting on the school board has allowed me to see so many positive changes for the school, the kids and the staff.

One of the most successful decisions the board has made in recent years was hiring on Bob to run the school. The partnership and trust that Bob and the board have created has allowed Aspen View to thrive in the community. I hope that all of you have seen success with your children this year. Some might be big accomplishments, and some might be small. Regardless of what they were, please make sure you celebrate these accomplishments with your kids because it helps keep them motivated and on a positive path.

2019 Field Day

When?

PreK-2nd Grade-Wednesday, May 22nd 8:45am-11:20am
3rd-5th Grade-Tuesday, May 21st 9:00am-2:05pm

We would like all students to bring a sack lunch. The lunch schedules will not match up with their break times during Field Day, so this is the best option. We will have middle school students helping with stations but can always use parent volunteers to help and/or to donate items (please click here). We will have a concession stand/break station again this year. Students will be allowed to buy candy and drinks with money they bring from home. The candy sale is a great fundraiser which has helped to purchase new equipment for PE. A list of the items that we will be selling will be sent home with students before Field Day. Please talk to your students about what they can buy with the amount of money they have. Students do not need to wear their uniforms on the day they have Field Day. They can wear items from the Wolf Shack, past field day shirts, or appropriate athletic clothes (shorts must be fingertip length). We encourage students to bring sunscreen, a hat, a water bottle to carry from station to station, and athletic shoes.

For questions, please email Ms. Damm or Mrs. Alguire.
