Dr. Wyndham visits Avon High School to highlight four outstanding students—Kimi, Drew, Ryan, and Dani—who participate in two programs designed to make sure our 'ALL belong, learn, and grow' mission is a reality: Work Study and Unified Sports.

You're never too young to make a positive impact. That's the lesson Pine Tree Elementary School students Karenna, Grayson, and Oliver embody on this special episode of the Orioles In-The-Know Podcast with Avon Schools Superintendent Dr. Scott Wyndham.

It's National School Counseling Week. In honor of the occasion, Dr. Wyndham sits down for a conversation with three members of our School Counseling team: Krista Fay, Amber Wetzel, and Candace Gadomski-Emmert.

Maggie Hoernemann and Shane Sommers join Dr. Wyndham to talk about the referendum renewal project, share lessons learned, and thank the community for turning out to support Avon's 11,000 students and 1,600 employees.

A decade ago, knowing that students were struggling to learn with empty bellies, a small group of Avon teachers started what has grown into the Mary Lee Maier Community Pantry. Executive Director Kristi Kerr and Pine Tree 3rd Grade Teacher Laura Davies join Dr. Wyndham to talk about their mission and how the community can partner.

I am thrilled to tell you that Avon-Washington Township voters have once again rallied around our 11,000 students and 1,600 employees by voting YES for the renewal of our 2018 Operating Referendum.

In this, the first of what will be an annual Avon alumni episode, Dr. Wyndham catches up with three Avon High School grads, individuals who excelled in academics, arts, and athletics during their time in Avon and who are continuing to do great things in college and beyond.

Listen in as Dr. Wyndham talks with Karie Mize and Matt Shockley about their experiences in Avon Schools and hear their firsthand accounts of the impact of Avon's failed 2011 Operating Referendum and the voter-approved 2018 Operating Referendum.

Dr. Wyndham is joined by three employees who play a direct role in welcoming families and students to our schools and helping them belong, learn, and grow: Pine Tree Secretary/Registrar Nicole Derhammer, Avon Middle School West Instructional Assistant Sue Misner, and Pine Tree Multilingual Teacher Sarah Valentin. Find out how the 2018 Referendum is empowering their work.
