Kurt Sjogren emailed, “Ella (5) started full
days of pre-k at The Greenhill School this past fall. I coached her soccer team to an 8-1-1 record where she scored 12 goals. Dory was kept busy chasing after Ava (2) who attempted to join the soccer action. I am continually impressed with the athletic and academic achievements of both student body and faculty at Avon. I talk about Old Farms with great pride to family and friends and without doubt my four-year experience gave me the foundation to build on and be successful today.” Jason Murgio ’94 and his wife, Tricia, announce the arrival of their first child, Peter Colt Murgio, born on October 11, 2009.
