Avon parents and caregivers, you're invited to a special presentation designed to equip you to protect your kids online. Presented by Susie's Place Child Advocacy Centers and Avon Schools, this session will feature actionable, easy-to-understand advice from a trusted safety advocate, John Graham. You'll hear new insights about the challenges and risks young people face online and you'll gain an understanding of techniques and technologies to help you support the kids and teens in your life.

Our youngest learners develop a lifelong love of learning through their earliest experiences in Avon Schools. Here in Avon, they don’t just thrive in the classroom under the guidance of our highly-qualified teachers—they’re supported every step of the way by a team of dedicated professionals. From bus drivers and classroom assistants to cafeteria staff and front-office personnel, every member of our school community plays a role in helping our students grow and succeed.

Pine Tree Elementary School students recently participated in The Great Kindness Challenge along with over 22,000,000 students in more than 45,000 schools across 135 countries. The goal: spreading kindness in schools, families, and communities around the globe. For their efforts, Pine Tree is now officially a Kindness Certified School.

Avon High School senior Dheer Pandya is one of three Hendricks County members of the class of '26 who have earned the prestigious Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship. Dheer stood out to the scholarship committee in their review of more than 400 applications from across the county.

Four Avon High School juniors — Idowu Adeleke, Jay Desai, Fola Ayantoye, and Eli Neal — have been named Rising Stars by the Indiana Association of School Principals for their outstanding academic achievements. These students are part of a select group of Hoosier juniors who have earned this honor. Congrats, Idowu, Jay, Fola, and Eli. We're looking forward to seeing how you continue to shine in your remaining 18 months at AHS and beyond!

Not only is Avon High School senior Kimi Perry succeeding on the hardwood, she's a super student. According to her teacher, AHS Transition Coordinator Kimberly Lobosky, "Kimi is the essence of girl power, exuding persistence and positivity everywhere she goes. She is one of the most dedicated workers I have had in the AHS Work Study Program, and I know she will achieve whatever she puts her mind to."

Put on your best black and gold Avon Orioles attire and join us in celebrating Black & Gold Day in the Town of Avon. Let's celebrate the mighty Avon Marching Black & Gold for their stellar 2025 season: they earned their 18th State Championship and 6th Grand National Championship. We are so proud of the hundreds of students, directors, volunteers, parents, and community members who combine efforts to sustain the greatness we are so privileged to witness year after year.

For the sixth time in their illustrious history — and the third season in a row — the Avon Marching Black & Gold are Bands of America Grand National Champions. There really are no words to describe how proud we are of each and every one of these students and directors as well as the hundreds of parents, boosters, volunteers, and community members who work together each season. Congratulations, Avon Marching Black & Gold. You earned it!

The low class sizes, competitive teacher pay, and vital student supports that have been in place since voters approved the 2018 Operating Referendum will continue thanks to the 64.6% of Washington Township voters who voted yes in our special election last week. We have strong schools because of our strong community, and we are excited to see what our students and staff continue to achieve because of your support.
