Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Thanks for your support of Avon School. See you back here on January 7th.
The 3rd graders experienced a German Christmas today. Mrs. Knodel lived there when she was their age, and wanted to share her experiences with them. They were given passports (to use as journals and record their experiences,) and worked their way through "security" before boarding Pirate airlines and flying over the Atlantic Ocean and landing in Germany. They worked on map skills, visited a Christmas Market where they had to solve word problems about shopping with Euros, made adventure wreaths, and wrote letters to Christkindl. Stay tuned for more adventures coming tomorrow!!
It's National Twin Day! We have a few in our building! Some are missing their partner today, so they get an air hug🙂
The Creative English students have been hard at work writing and illustrating their own Christmas children's books. This week, they had the opportunity to share them with some of the younger students here!
Congratulations to the Quiz Bowl Team. They advanced to the final eight teams and will compete in Mitchell on January 11th!

Students in grades 8-12 showed off their book projects today in English. They had to read a book of their choice independently and create a holiday decoration that represented at least 2 literary elements (plot, setting, theme, characters, symbolism, etc.). Mrs. Hubbell enjoyed seeing what they created and hearing all about their books!

The Avon Choir Department were busy bees on Wednesday, December 11th, making the rounds spreading Christmas cheer through music all around town. At 9 am the 8th grade loaded a bus and made their way to three daycares in town. They started at Mellissa’s daycare, loving that some kids were plugging their ears, while others were jiving in their seats. Then they headed to Avon Pirate Prep, where all the kiddos sat so nicely and one cutie ended our song with an enthusiastic “YAY!!” Our last stop was to Cindy Sassaman’s daycare. Most of the kiddos were excited for us to be there, minus a baby that wasn’t sure about our performance. The 8th grade headed back to class, but April kept the bus warm because soon after, the Avon High School Choir members loaded the bus to head to the Manor. There, they sang their Christmas songs they performed at their concert, and even added two birthday songs for two community members. They performed so well, bringing tears to a few people’s eyes. These community outreach experiences are so good for our students, and by seeing the smiles on the audience’s faces it is all so very well worth it. Everyone have a blessed Christmas season and thank you for allowing us to perform for you on this cold December day!
