Now is the time to plan for a float entry in the Avon School 's Homecoming Day Parade. This year's theme is ROAD TRIP ACROSS AMERICA! We envision everything America, including national landmarks, parks, etc. Let's get creative and make this a great homecoming day parade.
Avon Homecoming Parade is scheduled on Friday, September 25, 1:30 pm. Please enter your float by that Friday morning. Call the school at 605-286-3291 extension 114.
Head to Freeman to catch the Middle School and High School football games today.
Tomorrow at school, each class will take time to remember and honor those who lost their lives 25 years ago on September 11, 2001. Teachers will use age-appropriate materials from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum to help students understand the historical significance of this day.
In addition, our school will observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the time when the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
We encourage families to talk with their children about the significance of September 11 and the lessons we can continue to learn from it. While we remember the tremendous loss and tragedy of that day, we also remember the courage, compassion, unity, and perseverance demonstrated in the days and years that followed.
September 11 is now recognized as Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance—a reminder that even in the face of acts of hatred and evil, goodness can endure. May we honor those who were lost by continuing to care for one another, serve our communities, and recognize the good we can accomplish when we come together.
Thank you for helping us ensure that the lessons and memories of September 11 are passed on to the next generation with respect, compassion, and hope. Finally take a moment to reflect on "Where were you when the word stopped turning that September day?"
