Aviation Elementary School

✊📢 Student voices in action! This week, Mrs. Stern’s 5th grade class took their opinion writing beyond the classroom and into the real world with a peaceful protest in front of our school.
After researching issues they care deeply about, students crafted opinion pieces advocating for changes they believe would make a difference. From school and community concerns to issues impacting the world around them, each sign and message reflected the passion, critical thinking, and courage of our young changemakers.
We are so proud of these students for using their voices respectfully, thoughtfully, and purposefully to stand up for what matters to them. Learning doesn’t just happen at a desk—it happens when students see that their words have the power to inspire change. ❤️

Introducing Principal for the Day: Maksim! 🎉

Principal Maksim had an exciting day working with Principal Graves! He led the school assembly, visited classrooms, connected with staff, attended the 5th-grade team meeting, hosted dance parties, and took part in many other leadership activities. Thank you, Principal Maksim, for your enthusiasm, positive attitude, and outstanding leadership. You did an amazing job! 🐾❤️

Hair with Flair Spirit Day was bursting with creativity! Our Bulldogs showed off their unique styles and school spirit with some amazing hairstyles. ✨🐾✨

Last week, Principal Clark and Blueberry handed off our incoming 3rd graders to Principal Graves and Maverick! Students enjoyed a school tour, classroom visits, snacks provided by the Bulldog PTA, and time with siblings at recess. We loved welcoming our future Bulldogs to Aviation! 🐾❤️

Last week Miss Renee made good on her promise to be taped to the wall as a fundraiser goal reward! During our weekly Bulldog Assembly students, staff, and PTA members helped tape her to the MPR! This was a reward for our Bulldogs hitting a Turkey Trot fundraising goal in November! Thank Miss Renee for “sticking” to your word! 😆🐾

This Friday show off all your flair with your hair! It will be the ⭐️ of the day!

Check out these Bulldogs who were excited to share great news with their families through their “PAWsitive Office Referrals.” We are so proud of the positive choices, hard work, and kindness they show every day! 🐾❤️

This weekend, Aviation‘s Cotsen cohort graduated from their two year CORE fellowship that focused on the area of CGI Math. 📓 Though this part of their journey is coming to a close, they are all very excited to forge a new path during a special Post Fellowship Year (PFY) with the Cotsen Foundation in the area of Reading.📚 This is Aviation’s second PFY and it comes with some major bragging rights as they are the first school in Cotsen history to do this! Congratulations to Fellows, Amanda Steen, Cat Ruvalcaba, Haley Orzeck, Marissa Larson, Monica Romero, and Morgan Roy. Congrats also to Mentor, Trisha Maano and Principal, Summer Graves for helping to lead the charge! 🎉👩🏻‍🎓 🐾
