At Avon Elementary School, our Physical Education curriculum goes beyond the gym and into life skills that matter! 🌊🏊‍♂️ Each spring our students participate in water safety lessons at the Neptune Aquatic Center, where they learn essential swimming and water safety skills in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. From building confidence in the water to practicing important safety techniques, these lessons help equip our students with skills that can last a lifetime. Experiences like these are part of the Avon Advantage. We provide students with meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities that support the whole child. 💙💛 #AvonAdvantage #AES #PhysicalEducation #WaterSafety #WholeChild #LifelongSkills #AvonByTheSea #SmallSchoolBigImpact

At Avon Elementary School, kindness is a core value! 💙🌊🐯 Last week we held three events that exemplified this value. Our Kindness Carnival awarded time to classes who exemplified kindness towards others during the past month. Our joyful PreK Carnival Day celebrated community with students, staff, parents and grandparents and filled our playground with laughter and fun. Finally, our students painted rocks and shells with inspirational messages for our growing Kindness Garden. Our hearts are full with beautiful reminders that small acts of kindness can make a big impact. These experiences help our students build connections, celebrate one another, and create a school community where everyone feels they belong. We are so proud of the joy, teamwork, and compassion our students bring to AES every day. #TheAvonAdvantage #AESKindness #SmallSchoolBigHeart

We were proud to recognize Maeve Roenbeck at the May 13 Board of Education Meeting for her outstanding work as our top fundraiser in the annual Jump Rope for Heart event. Each year students at Avon Elementary School participate in Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops for Heart. In the weeks leading up to the event, students learn about healthy heart habits, the importance of exercise, and ways to live a heart-healthy lifestyle. They also support an important cause by raising donations for the American Heart Association. At Avon Elementary School, we are proud to see our students combining wellness, leadership, and community service to make a positive impact beyond our classrooms. #TheAvonAdvantage #HeartHealthy #JumpRopeForHeart #HoopsForHeart #SmallSchoolBigImpact

Innovation, creativity, and problem-solving were on full display at the Home & School Association’s Invention Convention! 💡✨ Our students amazed us with their imagination, confidence, and ability to think like real-world innovators. From brainstorming ideas to building prototypes and sharing presentations, this event highlighted the power of student voice, curiosity, and hands-on learning. Thank you to our incredible Home & School Association for partnering with us to create memorable experiences that inspire innovation and support our students’ growth beyond the classroom! 🌟 #TheAvonAdvantage #FutureInnovators #HandsOnLearning #SmallSchoolBigImpact #AESProud

Students and staff came together for an exciting Spring Sports Pep Rally filled with energy, school spirit, and Tiger Pride. Athletes from all of our spring teams were recognized and celebrated as they prepare for a successful season ahead.

The rally featured music, games, team introductions, and plenty of cheering from classmates and staff. Students proudly wore school colors and showed their support for our Tigers, creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm and community throughout the event.

Our student-athletes have already demonstrated dedication, teamwork, and perseverance, and the pep rally was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their hard work and commitment. We wish all of our spring teams the best of luck this season and look forward to cheering them on.
