Avril is looking forward to all the school events to attend this year, from football games to the Chicago Choraliers trip this spring. She also hopes to spend as much time with her friends as she can, making some lasting memories. Her favorite school memory is the time when Sammi Kameran axe bombed the 6th Grade hallway or possibly when Doug Hileman hit her car last year.
