February 16–20 marked South Dakota School Board Recognition Week, a special time to recognize and thank the individuals who volunteer their time and leadership to serve our local schools and community. The Avon School District extends its sincere appreciation to its school board members for their dedication, thoughtful decision-making, and ongoing commitment to providing quality educational opportunities for Avon students. Their service often takes place behind the scenes, yet plays a vital role in shaping the success and future of the school district. Avon School Board members are, from left: Joe Sees, Chairwoman Bridgette Muller, Vice Chairman Jeff Tolsma, Annie Thury, and David Ratzlaff. Thank you for your continued service, leadership, and support of Avon School.
