With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Pirate Mya Cahoy. Mya was truly a blessing to have among the halls of Avon school. She touched the lives of many students and teachers with kindness, strength, love, and laughter. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Please keep Mark and Kris and the entire Cahoy family in your thoughts and prayers.
