PK graduation for this kiddo today! Time is going to fast! GPCDM has been such a blessing to our family helping Carson grow in his faith and as a student! ♥️

Love, love, loved getting to celebrate all the hard work teachers have put in this year by making pancakes for them! I am so proud of them!

I’m SO thankful for all the hard work Tiffany Walter put in to make field day a success! It was amazing day that was so organized and allowed our kiddos to make some amazing memories! I’m also thankful for the entire team and parents that made the day happen!

We are so appreciative of our central office staff that are always at our buildings and come to celebrate the kids with us! Thank you Carrie Alday for making a difference!

So proud of our Hickory graduates!! It was so neat celebrating them this afternoon. They still remember the school song!

And that’s a wrap! Lots of learning in the 23-24 year! I’m SO proud of all our staff and students!

Fun Run kick off last night! So many skills and lots of memories made!

Amazing PD by Kristle Chalos on Metacognition and visible learning! Our teachers are amazing for always wanting to expand their knowledge. ♥️

Deep conversations about academic vocabulary that is used in a standard. They had the literacy framework up and analyzed all the way up to grades 3 & 4. Such powerful conversations to impact student learning.

Sprout council student leaders led by teacher leaders. They broke off into groups that mirror teacher committees. I can’t wait to see impact they will make this year. There are already some amazing things in the works.

I am blown away by the leadership and work that was put in to make our first 8 days of Kindergarten SO successful. A focus on play and social emotional learning was an incredible way to start the year! ♥️

SO many smiles to start the year!!

I had the best surprise last week when I did my good morning rounds in classrooms! Learning leaders were at work with their Kinder buddies. ♥️ These students and teachers organizing are amazing!

I’m so thankful to be a part of a district that values the whole child. It takes a village to serve 23,000+ individuals in ONE year! Thank you Kristi and the incredible board for making this happen! Avon truly is a special place. Mary Lee Maier

Such powerful conversations and deep learning taking place as a result of a student centered coaching cycle with Kristle Chalos! I’m so thankful for this dedication to growing student learning!

Fourth grade knocked this narrative writing launch out of the park! Looking at exemplars and discussing the differences in levels of proficiency.

A focus on fluency as a school wide goal! Students in Mrs. Marks’ class working with their fluency partners!

Another example of how Avon values the whole child! Look at this amazing group of educators who voluntarily gave up some of their evening to build relationships with kids where they live! It is an honor to be on their learning team everyday! ♥️

Our bus drivers are SO fun! All smiles before kids have loaded to go home for the day.

So thankful for our AMAZING drivers for getting kids to and from school safely! Also a huge shout out to our maintenance and grounds crew that shoveled and plowed so kids could get in the building. We are SO lucky!!
