Remembering Mr. Aviles


By Arianna Bekas

The loss of a life is always heartbreaking no matter who the person is, and when a death strikes such a tight nit, family orientated community like Apopka High School, we see the true uncut form of grief. A few weeks ago Apopka High School lost an amazing science teacher who had been involved in the Apopka educational community for years. Mr. Aviles was a once in a lifetime teacher, who was devoted whole-heartedly to the success of his students. Teachers who worked closely with him have nothing but kind words, and students who had the honor of learning from him were touched by his determination to see every student accomplish their goals. Mr. Aviles has left a lasting impact on their hearts and minds of everyone here at Apopka, and he and his family will be in everyone’s thoughts and kind wishes. Listed below are the photos of notes left behind by students who had the honor of being taught by Mr. Aviles.
