AEFA Awards Ceremony
The Vista Verde AEFA Awards Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, May 21st, at 3:30pm in the MPR. Join us as we celebrate the achievements of our AEFA community, including participating students, program chairs, teacher advisors, and coaches. AEFA (Academic Enrichment For All), encompasses all enrichment activities sponsored by the Vista Verde PTA for all students. These programs include Math, Science Olympiad, National History Day, Chess Club, Rubik’s Cube Club, Spelling Bee, Viking Voices, Astronomy Night, Earth Day, and more. These programs thrive due to the tremendous time, passion, and love our amazing parent volunteers put into them. If you’re interested in learning more or getting involved, please stop by the AEFA table on Tuesday, May 21st, at 3pm in front of the MPR.
