This was a partner project between myself and Lina Tjarks. We went to Minnehaha park and took pictures of invasive plants and then identified where it came from.

I spent time throughout my senior year designing and building a small cabin for my Senior Project. I spent over 300 hours on this project.

Solar Boat wins First Place!
Our son has finally become invested in his own learning... it's incredible!
Staff,Students,Families
Our son has never felt this supported in a school setting before. He feels really seen, heard, and valued at Avalon. When conflicts arise, he feels like there are lots of helpful adults around to support him and yet who also give him space to practice and get better at new social, academic and wellness skills. He has a wide variety of friends and opportunities through Avalon and is absolutely thriving! We can't thank the Avalon community enough for creating this kind of trusting and growth-minded community.

I feel like being able to learn my own way empowered me to develop into the truest version of myself.
