Bocon! is the ATC's one-act Main Stage show for this year's MIFA Festival. It is also this years Voices of Avondale Production. It tells the story of 12 year-old Miguel, who is bocon (a big mouth). He is escaping a repressive military regime in Central America. Along the way, he learns to find his true voice.

AP Theatre is the ATC's one-act Studio show for the MIFA Festival. Have you ever had one of those dreams where you are in school and taking a test?

You have 30 minutes and your time begins…..NOW!

The Avondale Board of Education has approved a contract with Zebra K9 to bring a certified vape detection K9 team to our middle and high schools from January 27 through May 2025. This initiative aims to deter vaping and maintain a focused, safe learning environment. The K9 team will visit sporadically each month, with dates kept random, and will not visit elementary schools.

For more information on the dangers of vaping, we encourage families to review the resources from Parents Against Vaping. Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure a healthy environment for all students.
