Today, our middle and high school students and staff had the privilege of participating in the annual Veterans Day program hosted by the Albany American Legion Post 482. This special event was a meaningful time to honor and thank all who have served our country and protected our freedom. A heartfelt thank you to our high school choir and band for their outstanding performances that made the program so memorable. 🎶 We are deeply grateful for our Veterans and their service to our nation! ❤️🤍💙

🐾 Huskies in the Classroom! Mrs. Dale visited our Avon kindergarten classrooms this morning to teach students about Veterans Day and share her personal experience serving our country. She even gave two lucky students the opportunity to try on some of her military gear! We are so grateful for her service, her willingness to share her story, and the time she took to help our students learn about the meaning of Veterans Day. 💜

🐾📣PURPLE PRIDE SPOTLIGHT!🌟🐾 This week’s Purple Pride Spotlight is Adriana Boeckermann, Secondary School Food Service! Ana is always very helpful with students, especially the ones in Special Ed. She's always paying attention to what the students need so that she can help them even before we realize we need her. When we have our hands full, her help is really refreshing and appreciated. Individuals showcased as Purple Pride Spotlight recipients have been selected from a Purple Pride Card submitted by one of their colleagues. Purple Pride Cards are read by School Board members at each meeting and give the recipients well-deserved public recognition for their efforts. Help us in recognizing this week’s recipient, Adriana Boeckermann! 🐾💜 #PurplePride #HuskiesPullTogether
