🎉 70 YEARS OF AES! What an unforgettable celebration! 💙🐬
This year, Avon Elementary School proudly celebrates 70 incredible years of learning, community, and Dolphin pride. Since opening our doors in 1955, AES has grown, changed, and thrived. A few weeks ago, we honored that legacy in the best way possible!

We kicked off the day with a school-wide pep rally, filled with energy, smiles, and lots of friendly competition. Our students got to play games, learn fun facts about our school’s history, and see how Avon has transformed over the decades. Some of our teachers and students even showed up dressed to represent the '50s through today — and they showed out! 🕺📚✨

Later that evening, we continued the celebration with our families, staff, and community members for a night we’ll never forget. 💙

🌟 Special highlights from the evening included:
🥁 The APHS Drumline and Color Guard welcoming guests with an unforgettable entrance!
🎤 A beautiful performance by the APHS Women’s Choir
🤝 Our amazing Student Leadership Team greeting guests and helping host the event
🎓 A recognition of the wonderful former AES administrators who helped shape our school’s story

It was a night filled with pride, nostalgia, laughter, and love for a school that has meant so much to so many.

Here’s to 70 years strong, and to many more years of learning, growing, and shining together as the Dolphin family! 💙🐬
