Avon CAPS Spring Picnic event was a hit this year and we couldn’t be happier with the turn out! Every year it grows bigger and bigger!

We Need You, Avon Elementary Families!
CAPS (Committee of Avon Parents & Staff) is now accepting nominations for Board Members for the upcoming school year—and we have TWO key roles to fill: Vice President & Treasurer!

Ready to make a real impact? Nominate yourself or someone you know today!

These roles help make so much possible for our students and staff—like field trips, family events, and staff appreciation. Without volunteers, these experiences simply don’t happen.

Why join CAPS?
Because together, we create a school community where every child can thrive—socially, emotionally, and academically. Plus, you’ll build connections and be part of a positive, welcoming group that truly makes a difference.

Vice President
• Help lead meetings & initiatives
• Step in when the President is unavailable
• Support events & volunteer coordination

Treasurer
• Manage finances & track expenses
• Prepare simple reports
• Help ensure funds directly benefit students

Low time commitment, high impact:
Just 1 hour per month (plus optional volunteering when it fits your schedule!)

Not ready for a board role? We still need YOU!
There are so many ways to help—events, planning, ideas—every bit counts.

Join us for our LAST meeting of the school year:
May 11 at 4 PM (in person or virtual—link on our page!)
