Just a reminder 🤣

We are proud of our Aviston musicians who represented us at the ILMEA District 6 Festival! Led by inspiring clinicians, the junior high band, choir, and orchestra spent the day refining their skills and collaborating with students from across Southern Illinois before presenting three fantastic concerts. 🎶 🎼
Congrats to:
• Berkeley Jacob – Treble Choir
• Elise Kohnen – Band
• Clara Netemeyer – Orchestra




Holiday dress-up is back — cue the cheering (or gentle sighing, we hear you). 😌🎄
This year, you get TWO schedule choices:
✨ 12 Days → festive overachievers, we see you
✨ 5 Days → festive realistically, we see you too
✨ Mix both → festive, but make it customizable
All days are optional… truly. No sweat, no stress, no last-minute store runs unless you want to.
Because if the holidays are one thing, they are ✨hectic✨ enough already! 💚❤️
