This week, we are starting our Smarter Balanced State testing. To get an accurate picture of the true ability of our students, it is important they give maximum effort. In addition, perseverance is an important attribute that we are working on with our students. Please emphasize the importance of effort and perseverance to your child. Let's knock these tests out of the ballpark! Pirate Pride!

The Junior English class is currently reading The Great Gatsby, a classic American Literature novel set in the 1920's. To get everyone in the spirit, Mrs. Hubbell threw them a 1920's-themed party. Students had to create either a "mocktail" or appetizer that would have been served at a Gatsby party and give a brief speech over why it would've been served there. Students then enjoyed their creations while watching a film version of the story!
The Avon track team is officially underway with their season. With nearly 60 kids on the team, we are looking forward to a great season with nice weather!
