Community Events

Calling all AWS Alum, Alum Families and Current Families! Please join us for our upcoming welcome back potluck and 35th year celebrations.

Wednesday, September 2nd, 5:30-7:00 p.m.

We invite all families, alums, and alum families to join and help us celebrate our 35th year!

Please bring a dish to share and meet behind the school for a picnic. We encourage you to bring a family favorite - could be a main dish, a side dish, or a dessert. Don’t want to or can’t cook? A dish to pass from “Grandma Wegman” (or your grocery of choice) is great, too! AWS will provide drinks and tableware. Please sign up HERE.

All are encouraged to attend, join in some singing, ultimate frisbee, and guided tours of the school.

We are also seeking chalk artists and aspiring chalk artists from our parent and alum community to create pieces behind the school before and during the picnic! Please email Vicky Lucca to reserve a dedicated space for your design at vlucca@auroraws.org. If desired, you can also arrange times to create your piece in the day(s) prior.

We will also have chalk available and a space open for impromptu creativity from children and adults during the event.
