We are so excited about the launch of our Avon Grove Middle School PBIS Program: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe. In the first week our 'Grove Bucks' store was open, 2789 bucks were redeemed for acknowledgements!! Those acknowledgements included Croc jibbitz, fidget toys, snacks, locker decorations, and experiences like Open Basketball with Mr. DeEmilio and Mr. Phelps! We love "catching" our students doing the right thing. #agmspride

Student Learning Spotlight
6th Grade Art
In 6th grade art, students are learning to draw contour portraits by using plexiglass to trace the outlines of their partners' faces. This engaging activity helps them focus on observing the contour lines and unique features of their classmates. It’s a fun, hands-on way for them to develop observational skills and recognize differences in shape, size, and proportion! Here are some photos from Ms. Meixell's class.
