Getting to know Avery:
- What’s the most meaningful gift you have ever received?
“Probably an iPad. My family knew I really wanted one. I didn’t think I was going to get one. Several members of my family chipped in to get it for me. That really meant a lot to me.”
- Imagine you discover a beautiful island where you decide to build a new society. What is the first rule you put in place?
“The first thing I would do is build homes so that the people have shelter. The first rule would be no littering because its bad for the environment.”
- If you won a million dollars, what is the first thing you would buy?
“The first thing I would do is donate a portion of it to children who don’t have enough food. Secondly, I would renovate my room with new furniture, paint the walls, build a walk-in closet, and add a bathroom.”
" Avery is a friend to all in the classroom,” said Mrs. Chelsie Pratt, Avery’s 6th-grade math and science teacher. “She treats her peers with kindness and respect. Avery is a natural leader, a hard worker, and maintains a joyful personality.”
