Avondale School District is proud to announce that it has been selected as one of Michigan’s top 40 districts for literacy innovation, earning a $187,500 READ Innovation Grant from the Michigan Department of Education. Out of 115 applicants statewide, Avondale’s innovative approach to improving literacy stands out as a model that can be scaled to benefit students across Michigan.
This summer, Avondale students didn’t just take a break—they dove into exciting opportunities for learning, exploring, and creating. From preschoolers giggling through water days to middle schoolers tackling real-world challenges and culinary creations, our summer programs provided experiences that were as enriching as they were fun.
Behind the scenes, it took an incredible team of dedicated staff who gave up part of their summer to make this possible. Their commitment to student success was on full display, and for that, the entire Avondale community says a heartfelt thank you.
A full Summer Program Review will be presented at the August 18 Board of Education meeting, but here’s a look back at some of the moments that made this summer unforgettable.
