Had a great visit with Dale Powers class of 67! Dale is an avid supporter of Avon's math and science department through his foundation set up through the SD community foundation. The school is fortunate enough to have Dale and others such as the Sattler brothers who have have set up legacy accounts to continue to support our school. We can help anyone set up an account through the SD Community Foundation or through our own Pirate Foundation. These are 503-C accounts and totally tax deductible. See Mr. Kuhlman for more information on how to set up your own Legacy account to benefit Avon students. A great way to pay it forward and give back to your school where it all started!
Don't forget about the Cybersecurity training tonight. Great lessons to help keep you and your family safe as you navigate the online environment.
As the bats, balls, and gloves have been put away and the end of the summer recreation season has come, I would like to thank
1.) All the coaches for your time and efforts! Thanks for making an investment in our children and their future and teaching them the love of the game. The experiences you provided these children will be remembered for years to come.
2.) Parents: Thank you for getting your children to all the practices and games. From Platte to Sioux Falls, you somehow always found a way to get your child to the games. Thanks for adjusting your schedules and going with the flow as game times and days changed throughout the year. We greatly appreciate you fitting in ball between all of your other summer activities.
3.) Cathy, Judy, and the rest of the Ratzlaffs! You never missed a game or a tournament! Avon definitely has one of the best concession stands in the league. I heard lots of great comments about the food served at the games.
4.) All the players! You missed many of your other summer activities for ball. We appreciate the commitment. Many great memories were made for both you and your coaches. You learned some great lessons on how to be a good teammate and how to persevere that will serve you well as you get older. We can't have summer rec teams without players so thanks for your participation and effort.
5.) Everybody else who helped with summer ball or came up to watch. It was great to see the crowds at the home baseball and softball games. We will see everybody back in April for the start of Spring HS Softball season!
