iLEAD ANTELOPE VALLEY NEWS & EVENTS
Dear Families,
We’ve been enjoying learning about healthy habits, kindness, and heart health awareness through the Kids Heart Challenge! We look forward to seeing you for our Heart Party on Friday, February 14, to celebrate completing the challenge together.
As we celebrate the spirit of love and compassion this Valentine’s week, we’re also reminded of the importance of empathy. In our iLEAD community, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where every learner feels valued and respected. Our vision is to cultivate a generation of empathetic citizens who are committed to making a difference in the world. Through various initiatives and programs, we’re encouraging our learners to seek to understand and appreciate one another. We are looking forward to an inspiring week of personalized, project-based, and social-emotional learning ahead!
If you know someone who may be interested in joining the personalized learning adventure at iLEAD AV Exploration, please encourage them to RSVP for a Parent Preview, where they can observe a workshop, hear from program leaders, and have their questions answered. We also encourage interested families to fill out our enrollment application to either enroll now, be added to our midyear wait list, or apply by March 28 for a chance to save their child’s spot for 2025-26 through our enrollment lottery.
If you have any questions for our team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to 661-429-3757 or info.exploration@ileadav.org. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected!
With gratitude,
Terri Budke
iLEAD AV Exploration Director
