Avon Park High School is excited to kick off Chick-fil-A Leader Academy! This year, our students participated in giving away one million books to youth in local communities across 46 states. We gave out our books last week to after-school students ages 4-8 at Avon Elementary School, Park Elementary School, and Memorial Elementary School. This was a great partnership between APHS and our local Chick-fil-A restaurant! This leadership team has big plans to serve our community this year. Thank you to our local Chick-fil-A owner Jared Hewitt for sponsoring students at APHS. #CFALeaderAcademy #ImpactThroughAction #GoBigRed #SchoolOfChampions
