Second graders had a unique and enriching experience as part of APC's Wit and Wisdom Module 2: The American West. They were honored to have Tylar Melfi, a descendant of the Deer Clan and Erie/Seneca/Kiowa tribes, visit their class. Tylar shared his knowledge of Native American culture, traditions, and history, giving students a deeper understanding of the rich heritage of these tribes.
The students had the opportunity to engage with real animal furs and also participated in a hands-on activity by learning a traditional dance, which was both fun and educational.
This experience was an important step in helping our students connect with and appreciate the diverse cultures that have shaped our history. A big thank you to Tylar for sharing his time and knowledge with us!

Families gathered for a festive and educational evening at Avonworth School District’s "Christmas Around the World" celebration, held in partnership with Kidsburgh. The event offered a unique opportunity for students and their families to explore Christmas traditions from four different countries: India, Japan, South Africa, and Ukraine.
The event kicked off with an exciting array of hands-on activities. In India, students crafted colorful stars to symbolize the festive spirit, while in Japan, they decorated KFC buckets, a nod to the country’s quirky holiday tradition of enjoying fried chicken for Christmas dinner. South Africa’s station allowed kids to create their own animal figures, representing the country’s rich wildlife, and in Ukraine, students made spiders, inspired by the tradition of decorating Christmas trees with spider webs for good luck.
No celebration is complete without treats, and this one was no exception. Refreshments included Grinch juice, hot chocolate, and an assortment of cookies, which kept families warm and in the holiday spirit.
This event was part of Avonworth’s ongoing efforts to foster inclusivity and celebrate cultural diversity, aligning with the district's participation in the “Parents as Allies” project, which involves collaboration with neighboring districts. Families were thrilled with the chance to experience something new and take part in the vibrant cultural exchange.
Looking ahead, Avonworth School District is excited to announce more “Hi Neighbor!” events planned for 2025.
The Christmas Around the World event was just one of the many ways Avonworth and Kidsburgh are working to create lasting memories and meaningful connections among families. Stay tuned for more exciting events in the coming year!
