The Oriole Advocates are thrilled to welcome a number of the Avon Teachers of the Year to a panel discussion Thursday, Sept. 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Avon Community School Corporation Administration Building. This panel will be part of the Oriole Advocates’ fall meeting.

Some of the Teachers of the Year to be on the panel are: Kristle Chalos (River Birch Elementary), the 2017 Andy Mohr Teacher of the Year; Erin Brown (Avon Middle School North); Wendy Warthan (Avon Middle School South); Cathy Feldhake (Avon Intermediate School East); Dee Andrus (Cedar Elementary); Mandy Walton (Sycamore Elementary); and Dawn Battin (Maple Elementary).

The teachers will have an open discussion on the challenges and rewards of working for our schools.

Oriole Advocates are a group of concerned citizens — parents, grandparents, business leaders, teachers and others — who are working to promote student achievement and community engagement in Avon Community School Corporation (ACSC) schools. We are not part of ACSC and do not speak for the corporation. However, we do work closely with administrators and teachers because we all have the same goal: making our schools the best they can be for our children.

Meetings are open to the public and all are welcome to attend.
