As we near the half way point of the school year, very few in the community thought we would still be holding face to face instruction in our buildings. Honestly, I had my own doubts. We are still in school and going strong. It is because of our outstanding staff and their dedication and unselfish actions that we are able to continue educating our students and providing valuable experiences that support their dreams! THANK YOU ENSC STAFF. You are appreciated, amazing, and rock stars! We can do this! Bring on 2021....please! -Ann Linson, Superintendent

Good morning families!
Your AVILLA staff would love for you to join in on creating a chalk mural outside of Avilla. Attached is an example of a mural square. Chalk is at the school or you may bring your own. If you'd rather draw your mural at your own home you are more than welcome to and then just send the photo in to me or your child's teacher. If you do plan to go to the school to participate, and other families are there, please remember to use social distancing rules and choose sidewalk squares at-least 6 feet away from others. On Thursday (4/23), I will be taking a video of the finished mural and that will be posted along with all of the other videos and photos sent in. We would love for OUR school to create something together during this time.
Natalie Williams
Avilla School counselor

Dear Avilla Families, As many of you know, a core value at OUR school is our appreciation for veterans. We have been presented with an opportunity to be recognized as a Purple Star School, and Mrs. Hudson is well on the way to helping us achieve this designation. One of the things we would like to do is to compile an Honor Wall of Veterans who have Avilla School ties. They could be former students, parents of current students, or family members of current or former students. To help us achieve this, we are inviting you to scan, or take a picture of a picture of your family members who have served in the military. Please include their name, branch of service, and dates if possible. We will then print and frame the pictures and begin OUR Wall of Honor. These can be emailed to dpine@eastnoble.net or ahudson@eastnoble.net Thanks for your help in honoring those who served! Dave Pine Proud Principal of Avilla School

Today, Dr. McCormick and Gov. Holcomb made a historic decision to close school facilities until the end of the school year. This means we will continue eLearning three days per week to fulfill the school day requirement. We realize this is challenging for everyone; however, the safety of our students and community must be a primary concern.
I realize you must have many questions and, unfortunately, I do not have answers yet. We will continue with the current plan of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday eLearning days. Expect an update from me late Monday (April 6) that will provide you with additional details.
Thank you for your patience. We will get through this, one day at a time.

Nov. 19 is Red for Ed day. We are fortunate to have teacher leaders heading to Indianapolis to represent all of our teachers. At the same time, we are also fortunate to have nearly all of our teachers planning to remain in their buildings tomorrow and teach one of our most precious assets, our students! Don’t be confused by the number who are staying here to teach our students. They, too, believe strongly that districts need to be funded so that we are able to provide the support our students need and the salary our teachers deserve. They believe their profession is extremely important and they create hope, dreams, and a future for our youth which in turn impacts our economy and future. Wear red Tuesday, Nov. 19 to support our teachers and all those who work with students daily. They make a difference in the lives of our 3,600 ENSC students!
