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?"
The Educators Rising officers attended the Fall Leadership Conference yesterday in Sioux Falls! They were inspired by motivational speaker Justin Pickens and had the opportunity to learn, share, and connect with others who are passionate about education.
They are excited to bring back new ideas and inspiration to the Avon chapter as they continue to inspire and encourage future educators!
We’re proud of these future leaders and can’t wait to see what they do next! 🍎✨

Here is the link to watch Friday nights football game between the Avon Pirates and Dell Rapids St. Mary's.
The 5th and 6th grade students got to spend the day at South Dakota's largest classroom, the State Fair!
They watched an elephant show, visited many exhibits, received free books from the Department of Education, and had lunch with a show. They had a great day!
