Avalon Independent School District

Throughout the year, I see the many wonderful things that are taught in the classrooms, gyms, and on the fields. I see the dances of dazzle in the eyes of kids as they have learned something new that day. I love the look of inquiry and tilted heads when kids ask questions and are curious about something new.

 

Education is truly more than the 3R’s. It is about self-discovery and global awareness. Many Avalon High School students gave blood at the school’s blood drive last week. It was a testament to the character of our students and their awareness of the reality of the world in which they live. They practiced the art of giving and their importance to humanity itself. Thank you to the teachers and staff that allowed our young people the opportunity to become socially conscious young adults. Yes, they are kids, and yes they are not perfect and will make mistakes, but they are ours and we could not ask for anything else.

 

The hidden curriculum is what is not in writing.  It is taught by what we do and is emulated by others.

 

It continues to be a wonderful journey…
