Michaelmas 2019
Posted 6 days ago
The 2019 Michaelmas Festival was a true celebration of courage and community! Thank you to those who committed extra time to make it truly special. The morning started with a lovely assembly filled with singing, performances by the Grade 1- 8 students, which highlighted various aspects of our rich curriculum. It also included a rather comical eurythmy re-enactment of the French tale, Micheal and Diablo.

Posted 3 weeks ago
On September 20th, a gorgeous fall day, the AWS Eagles soccer team opened their season against the Gow Ravens. The final score was 6-3, with Gow taking the lead early in the first half, including a “bicycle kick” by a Pele-like Raven. Our Eagles, led by Coach Mark Lim, appeared to have great chemistry and aggressiveness to come from behind to score three goals in the second half. Calloway Nussbaumer (G8) with an assist from Elias “Wheels” Nojaim (G6) had the first goal, George Nussbaumer (G7) was unassisted on the second, and Nojaim had the third goal on an assist from C. Nussbaumer.
