The Avon All School Reunion Committee would like to thank the community and the alumni for an amazing reunion. Without the participation of everybody & the weather, the weekend wouldn’t have been a success. Planning began over 2 years before, but with COVID, we were shut down, not once, but twice as in 2021 we were shut down again. We decided we needed to roll with it for 2022 and quickly picked a date and executed. Our goals and plans had been downsized, but we couldn’t have done it without some of the outside entities stepping in and completing events. Thanks to the Avon Music Department for hosting the Adult Prom, Avon Post Prom for sponsoring the 5k, Avon Drama Club for sponsoring the Bean Bag Tournament, Avon Cheerleaders for the concession stand during the street dance and Avon Science Club for sponsoring the Pancake & Sausage Feed. As promised, if there was any additional funds left after all our bills were paid, they would be donated back to the community and school. Thanks again and remember, “Once A Pirate, Always A Pirate”.
