From Miss Angela
-In the spirit of this holiday season, I want to extend my thanks to all of you for everything that you do for our school. As we enjoy the upcoming holidays, it is my fervent wish that each of you receives and returns the seasonal bounty of blessings and good tidings that make these days truly special.
It is also during this time that I am reminded of my own good fortune to serve as the proud principal of Van Avery Prep. Of course, I believe the faces of our children best express the true meaning of this holiday season. They radiate a sense of enthusiasm, hope, and unabashed joy for life and the opportunities that await them.
To the parents and friends of the Van Avery Prep community, please have a safe and joyous holiday season.
-January is always a good time to reset habits and daily routines. Make it a point to restock or locate uniform jackets and sweatshirts. Get haircuts. Locate missing items. Lost and found is located out in the lunch area and is quite full of lunchboxes and water bottles. Please stop by and check for missing items.
Before we depart to enjoy the upcoming Winter Break, we want to share a few essential reminders with our families:
