Avery, CA…Last night the 8th Grade Class from Avery Middle School received their diplomas and marched forward to the next step in their education. Every year it strikes us how lucky these kids are to attend school at Avery. With the beautiful setting in the pine trees, the Distinguished School status, their iPad program and more there are lots of kids that would love to trade places with them. It has been a busy and eventful year at AMS and the students have even weathered the loss of Teacher Amy McKeen. As Ms. McKeen was honored as if on cue a partial rainbow appeared in the clouds. We have over 100 photos and full video of the ceremony.
