Voni Hubbell has been teaching for seven years, but this is her first year teaching in Avon. She taught high school in Faulkton for one year, followed by teaching midde school for five years in Marion. She said it has been amazing being back at Avon, since she graduated from here in 2012. Mrs. Hubbell said that one of her favorite moments so far this year was winning the homecoming skit with the sophomores. She said, “it was fun to plan and practice, and it was a well-deserved win!” During the fourth quarter, Mrs. Hubbell is really looking forward to helping the seniors with their final research projects. She really enjoys the research process, and she is hoping to instill that excitement in her seniors. She is also hoping to prepare her seniors for any papers they may have to write in college. Those who know Mrs. Hubbell know that she loves to celebrate holidays, and she tends to go all out. To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, she held a contest with her students- March 4-8. All of her classes earned points for wearing green every day and participating in random activities, such as shamrock word puzzles, and by writing and illustrating limericks. The class with the most points at the end of the week, the senior class, received a “green party” on Friday. Outside of school, Mrs. Hubbell spends most of her time with her husband Chris and their three kids: Kinglee, Vonnagail, and Champ. They like finding activities to do outside like going on walks, playing sports, or going to the park or pool. Some interesting facts about Mrs. Hubbell are that he had all three of her kids in just a little over four years, and she met her husband and best friend by playing one season of volleyball at Dakota State University. Mrs. Hubbell says she has an online shopping addiction and that she makes at least one iced coffee every morning before school. Mrs. Hubbell’s favorite tradition is taking a trip with her mom every summer. They have been doing this since 2012. Last year they went to Louisiana, and she is really looking forward to picking a random location for this year’s trip.
