Avon East principal says, "He's a good boy who made a poor decision."

Students place flags on school lawns
Younger students in Avon Local Schools weren't even born on Sept. 11, 2001. But that doesn't stop them from commemorating the day and honoring their country. Several schools in town celebrated Patriot's Day on Friday. Students wore red, white and blue clothes and helped create flag displays outside their school. At Avon East, students came out two or three classrooms at a time to plant small American flags on the front lawn. Several passing motorists gave a honk of approval, which thrilled the kids. Did your children participate in Patriot's Day events at their school? Share your photos here! Teacher Peggy Masin said that it was important for children to learn about patriotism. Her son, Barry, is a lieutenant in the Marines.

It's a big day for children and parents
A shiny new school year began in Avon Local Schools on Thursday. Kids wore their special first-day outfits, had special first-day lunches and some had special first-day pictures taken. Jackson Blodgett was glad the excitement was over after his first day of second grade in Tricia Plataniotis' class at Avon East Elementary School. "It was fun," he said as he posed with his mom, Terrilynn, who came to pick him up after school. Did you take first-day-of-school pictures or do something special to commemorate the day? Share it here either with a photo or in the comments!
