This is how we kick off every school year. The night before school starts, our whole community gathers to reconnect after the summer, welcome new students, play some games together, and hand out door prizes.

If you’re new to Alpine Valley School, this is the easiest possible way to meet people. No speeches, no program — just the community your family is joining, all in one place, having fun together.

Come 30 minutes early and lend a hand moving furniture back after carpet cleaning, and you’ll each earn an extra ticket for the door prize drawing. Well worth showing up a little early.

This is our traditional way to start the year, and we hope everyone can make it.
