Powwow Dancing

My project examines and explores the different types of Powwow dancing as well as taking a closer look at Native traditions. I present multiple types of dancing, the history and differences of each dance.
Becoming a Luthier
For my grade level project, I built a tenor ukulele. I learned how to use the necessary tools for the wood work, how to come up with the measurements, and made the construction plans to actually build the instrument completely without a kit. It took about nine months to fully finish!
Building a cabin in the woods.
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.

Spring Gathering and Annual Meeting
The small size allows for a lot of personal connection with and support from staff and for our son to have developed a solid group of friends, which he didn't have in his old school. I like the way academics are explored and how students are encouraged to think for themselves and take responsibility for their own learning to a good extent. The school feels like a real community, involving families in the school culture.
Families
There is an incredibly supportive environment from both the fellow students and teachers
Families
My education at Avalon didn't just encourage, but required me to be thoughtful in planning our projects and holding myself accountable for deadlines and deliverables while also stoking the fires of general curiosity.
Alumn
I love the relationships I get to build with students and families over time - it is so rewarding to see such growth!
