Avon has a student of the month ceremony that has been going on for many years. For Avon Middle School, this award recognizes students who show academic effort, possess good character, overall good behavior, and treat everybody with kindness. The students who receive this award earn multiple perks: five Chamber bucks from Avon Community Bank; a gift certificate for a burger, fries, and pop from Tolsma’s Cove; Avon Pirate gear from Cahoy’s Service; and a yard sign from the Avon Booster Club.

Zander Fathke, fifth grade son of Chris and Nikki Fathke, earned the Avon Middle School Student of the Month for September.

Kate Swier, eighth grade daughter of Scott and Theresa Swier, is the recipient of the October student of the month for the Avon Middle School students. Swier said, “I was so honored and proud to receive this reward.”
