Aviators Blog

Join us for our annual AVS Volunteer Recognition event, Friday, April 26. 

Big congratulations to the six aviators who competed in the 2024 San Francisco Scholastic Chess Championship this past Saturday!

Join us this summer for an exciting partnership between AVS and Maker Studio Kidz, offering four weeks of engaging programming at the Lower School campus!

We plan to offer the school bus again next year in partnership with San Francisco School. We need enough riders to make the bus workable, and we want to optimize the route to capture the most riders, so please fill out this 24-25 School Bus Interest Form by April 5th.

Spring break is around the corner, April 8-19, and AVS families are invited to sign up for Spring Adventures by Thursday, 3/28, at 6:00 p.m. We will offer two exciting camp options, and Families can sign up for either week, both weeks, or single days. 

As we continue with the busy month of March, planning is underway for the celebration of Holi at the March 22nd Community Meeting and for the afternoon playground activity.

This past Monday lower school students demonstrated their unique dances that they created, iterated, practiced and performed during the community meeting. The goal was to create a dance with others that showed the school values (be kind, be respectful, and be proud) and used a song with an 8 beat count that was remixed from the AVS song by our Music Teacher Danny Clay. While this is not the typical Engineering Challenge, students and teachers had so much fun with this project. Check out their dances here.

During a recent community meeting, fifth grade teacher Tina Amir-Ghasemi and her students presented a beautiful Women's History tribute to the inspiring women in our community. There wasn't a dry eye in the room after watching the video that Tina produced using submissions of video clips and photos of accomplishments and proud moments from fifth grade students, mothers, and teachers and staff across the school.
