The Wagner High School volleyball team held their annual Dig Pink night on Tuesday, October 15th against the Parkston Trojans. As October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, both the Parkston and Wagner teams partnered with Apparel WorX to sell t-shirts for what has become an annual Parkston vs Wagner Dig for a Cure game. Every year, Apparel WorX designs a t-shirt for the game with both communities able to purchase. The team that sells the most shirts received a $100 donation from Apparel WorX. All attending fans were encouraged to wear pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. Players for the Wagner team even threw out mini pink volleyballs to fans after the starting lineup was announced.

Our fall sports are slowly winding down.Fourmembersofthecross-countryteamqualifiedfor state and will be competing in Rapid City next weekend. The Football team ended the season 7-1 and will be competing in the playoffs on Thursday night. Region Volleyball is quickly approaching. Other activities such as Oral Interp, HOSA, etc are also getting in full swing. The band and chorus are preparing for their fall and winter concerts. It is great to see students reach out of their comfort zone and perform in public. I don’t believe we fully appreciate the risk students take to put themselves out in the public where everyone can see them succeed or fail. It builds discipline, mental toughnessandconfidence.Nomattertheoutcome,wealways need to support these students. A goal at Avon is to have every student be involved in at least one extracurricular activity. We greatly appreciate the community attendance and financial support of all our extracurricular activities! At the same time, our teachers are constantly developing engaging and challenging curriculum to grow each student academically. Finally, next week we invite everyone to the Veteran’s Day program on November 11 at 2:45 in the school gymnasium.
