Avon View students seeing success in multiple sports
After a lengthy hiatus, the Avon View Voice is returning. The purpose of this column is to help build connections between Avon View High School and its surrounding communities. We want you to know about all of the great things happening at the school.
If our last dance on Oct. 25 was any indication, school spirit is up. We had a great turnout.
We have a new principal. Everett Macpherson now leads our administrative team who are hard at work making Avon View the very best place for the education of our students. The school year has had a great start and all signs point to the continuation of this trend.
Parents and families were invited to the school on Oct. 23 for Grade 12 information night, and there was an impressive turn out. As always, parents are strongly encouraged to register for access to the PowerSchool system. Stop by or call the office at 907-792-6740.
Avon View students are making us proud in sports. Jacob Benoit won the provincial title for cross-country running. Liam Parker reached second in the province in golf. Reagan O’Hara (coach) led the new junior varsity boys’ soccer team through an interesting premiere season. Though several of the boys had never played the game before, O’Hara congratulates the team on its growth through the season. He says this team has had, “the greatest improvement I have ever seen.”
AV’s Options and Opportunities students have already completed their short courses in fall and arrest (Grade 11), CPR and First Aid. These students are also helping out with the cleaning and set up of the new Windsor food bank.
Did you know that AV plays a song at the start of each day, at the end or recess, and at the end of lunch? It is designed to encourage students to move to their classes in a timely fashion .The WeAct group started a successful campaign last year. Students can buy a music request for a loonie, and then these are used to program each day’s music selections. These funds, along with others raised from bake sales and the like are used to help support Harvest House as well as students here at the school that find themselves in need.
