iLEAD ANTELOPE VALLEY NEWS & EVENTS
Dear Families,
With the end of the school year approaching, we’re reflecting on the incredible progress our iLEAD AV Exploration learners have made. Our vision is to prepare them not only for academic success but also for a fulfilling life beyond the classroom. We’re proud to see our learners blossoming into lifelong learners, empathetic citizens, authentic individuals, and design thinkers who will change the world for the better.
We want to send out our warmest wishes to all the incredible mothers in our iLEAD AV Exploration community! We hope you’ve enjoyed a happy Mother’s Day! We see you, we appreciate you, and we are honored to be a part of your child’s educational experience.
This upcoming week, we celebrate National Charter Schools Week. We are especially grateful for the opportunity to partner with families like yours in providing a school choice that supports your unique needs.
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
