AVPS Spring Fair planning and preparation is well underway as we quickly move toward the BIG DAY!

This event is completely run by volunteers and WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you can spare some time, items or baking and would like to be part of making the Spring Fair a success, please let us know by completing and submitting the volunteer/donation form that was sent home last week. Forms should be returned to your child’s class by this Friday, April 10.

You can view and download the flyer using the link below.

You can also let us know if you’d like to volunteer, bake or donate items by contacting Petra at 613-523-9198 or petra.alince at gmail dot com

Thank you for your support!
