News from Averill Park CSD
Averill Park CSD held a professional development day with keynote speaker George Couros in attendance. Throughout the day, staff members led sessions that focused on showcasing different methods of teaching and new technology being used in the classroom. It was an inspiring and eye-opening day that left a lasting impact on many of our educators. Thank you to everyone involved in making the day possible!
The varsity girls cross country team ran in the rain from the high school to West Sand Lake Elementary to deliver empowering quotes and inspire young girls involved in Girls on the Run. Way to go team!
