Looking for a few volunteers to take tickets at the Last Chance Track Meet that will be held in Avon on Thursday, May 21st. You would probably have to take tickets from 9:00 am till 12:30. Depending on how many we get, we could split the shift. Reach out to let Mr. Poppe know if you are interested in doing this. My cell number is 605-661-3750.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, we celebrate the incredible staff at Avon School—the real MVPs who somehow manage to teach, motivate, redirect, encourage, and still smile before their coffee kicks in. Whether they’re answering the same question five times, tracking down missing assignments, or performing daily miracles before lunch, our teachers do it all. We’re lucky to have such a dedicated (and patient!) group leading the way. Avon wouldn’t be the same without you—thanks for everything you do!
