-All of our students benefited from participating in a three-part speaker seminar on Stress and Time Management put forth by Practicum student Matt Dryden!
-The AVID Site Team is presently putting forth a publicity blitz about AVID with a contest called "So You Think You Can Teach" based on the television show - "So YOu Think YOu Can Dance". Teachers are asked to submit lesson plans that they found to be successful based upon AVID strategies. They have until November 15th to place these into the AVID box in the LHS mailroom! All of the submissions should be awesome!
- Both Mrs. Ferugson's 11th/12th AVID elective class and Mrs. Bell's 10th AVID/World Geography class had READ posters created! These will be on display within the next few weeks! They look great!

What AVID is:
- AVID is an acronym that stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination.
- AVID is an internationally recognized, national in-school academic support program that seeks to prepare students for college eligibility and success.
- AVID is a program for all students, but targets those in the academic middle who have not been served by traditional programs.
- AVID helps to "level the playing field" for minority, rural, low-income, and other students without a college-going tradition in their families.
- AVID is implemented schoolwide and district-wide.
- AVID teachers are trained in AVID methodology which includes weekly tutorials (Collaborative Inquiry Sessions), an emphasis on higher level thinking and reasoning, as well as an emphasis on writing.
What AVID ISN'T:
- AVID isn't a remedial program.
- AVID isn't a dumping ground.
