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.
Attention: The Avon Board of Education has announced that the Avon School Board Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 13th at 6:30 PM has been moved to 6:00 PM instead of 6:30 PM. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

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!
A quick reminder about the Open House for prospective students the Avon School is having on May 7th. If you can't make it, please contact Mr. Kuhlman or Mrs. Fathke to set up another day. We would love to give you a tour anytime. Come see what being a Pirate is all about!
PS: Feel free to share this post!
The 3rd graders enjoyed their pizza party on Friday for winning the pop tab competition. 🍕
