2022 Intercultural Night Registration
Avoca's largest and most diverse community-building event, the Intercultural Dinner and Talent Show is making its comeback on Friday, November 18. This year's theme is Reconnection.
Important Details
Veterans Day Breakfast
Avoca invites all veterans and their families to attend the annual Veteran's Day Breakfast. Over the past fourteen years, Avoca has opened its doors to not only take part in an opportunity to serve those who have served our country but to learn and expose the students to the depth of character, sacrifice, and bravery being an American Veteran entails. Event details and how to RSVP are included in the flyer. Questions? Email [email protected].
Safety & Civics Committee
Volunteers are needed to help keep our schools and students safe! The Safety & Civics Committee of Wilmette is looking for two representatives from District 37 (one from Avoca West and one from Marie Murphy Middle School) to serve alongside representatives from other Wilmette schools. The time commitment is one 1-2 hr morning meeting per month (the first meeting is Wednesday, October 26 at 12 noon via Zoom), where committee members review and discuss current happenings related to local school safety, plan Bike to School Days (the Bike Rodeo!), and celebrate the crossing guards.
The history of the committee is that it started with a focus on pedestrian and bike safety and has expanded to safety on a variety of activities, including the internet, social media, and emotional/physical well-being resources. Wilmette D39 is a partner to Avoca D37 in many of their community presentations on these topics. The committee members' role is to engage as a D37 rep as well as share with the D37 admin any pertinent updates from the committee. For more information or to volunteer, please contact [email protected].

Early Childhood Developmental Screening

These screenings cover language development, fine and gross motor skills, social and emotional behavior, and early learning. The appointments take approximately one hour to complete. We ask that only one parent attend the screening with their child. The location for the screening is Marie Murphy School, 2921 Illinois Road, Wilmette, Illinois. Please call Dawn Scaramuzza in the Student Services office at 847-728-4142 to make an appointment. The next scheduled screening date is Thursday, October 27, 2022.
