These girls right here... This is what it looks like to be an AV TIGER. This is what CHARACTER looks like. You can read the article about our team, who competes way harder than what their record might show, and miss the real story if you don't read the last paragraph. This is AV. These are AV students. Tradition. Pride. Character.

It's October...which means the FAFSA is open for the 2022-2023 academic year! The high school counseling center will be hosting a financial aid meeting during parent teacher conferences next week. Any student who plans to attend a college or trade school that accepts federal financial aid should fill out the FAFSA each year for an opportunity to receive loans or grants (free money) to attend school. Stop by the MS/HS library next Thursday evening, to learn more!

Last Friday Night the Elementary had a Mother/Son Hayride. Thanks to everyone who came out! We had a blast!
