💙🐬 Celebrating School Counselor Week at Avon Elementary! 🐬💙

We proudly celebrate and honor Mrs. Ogburn for the incredible heart, dedication, and compassion she brings to Avon Elementary every single day.

Mrs. Ogburn’s love for our AES Dolphin students is nothing short of superb. She is a constant source of encouragement, wisdom, and support — helping our students navigate challenges, build confidence, and believe in themselves. Whether she’s offering a listening ear, guiding problem-solving conversations, or celebrating student successes, she makes a lasting impact on our school community.

Her kindness creates a safe space.
Her guidance builds strong character.
Her dedication changes lives.

We are beyond grateful for the care and commitment she pours into our Dolphins each day. 💙

Thank you, Mrs. Ogburn, for being such an important part of the AES family. You make our school a better place! 🌟🐬
