Reflecting on Honored Traditions
From the moment students at Avon Old Farms School return from Thanksgiving Break until the morning they head home for the holidays, campus is packed with fun holiday traditions—some as old as the school itself. While each member of our community enjoys being in the moment with fellow members of this year's community during such fun festivities, our long-standing traditions are important in building bonds between generations of Avonians—past, present, and future.
