Phys Ed News
Please read the message below from Mr. Hamilton:
In the month of November we will be having a Family Fitness Challenge. Each student will go home with an exercise calendar at the beginning of the month. For each day of the month there is an exercise challenge that the students can complete. If they are able to complete the challenge for each day, they can turn their calendar in at the end of the month. The completed calendars will be put in a drawing for a chance to win a prize. Prizes for the month of November include Skymax Jump Arena, Snow Tubing at Boston Mills Ski Resort, Lunch with Mr. Hamilton and more! After the drawing, Mr. Hamilton will return the calendars to each student. Students will then have the opportunity to send in their calendar for an exclusive ticket offer from the Canton Charge. Good luck!

We will ask Avondale students to bring a dollar on "Dollar Day," Nov. 4th, to help support Mr. Hamilton in his performance. Donations help support the Plain Local Community Center for the Arts.
Sweat Pant Drive
Please consider donating any gently worn sweat pants to be used when students need a change of clothes during the day. You may drop off donations in the green and gold box located in the school lobby. The drive will be ongoing through the winter months.
Community Christmas Coat Collection
Last year over 4,000 coats were collected and distributed to our Stark county residents. It's anticipated this season that the need for clean, warm coats may increase due to the forecast of another cold winter. With your help we will be able to supply these coats to those in our neighborhoods who need. The coat drive has already begun and will run through December 5th. The Community Christmas drop-box is located in the school lobby.
