✨ AVID in Action! ✨ Our AVID students recently visited Lyman Elementary 5th graders to show the AVID elective in action! Students led a Philosophical Chairs discussion on “Is Homework Beneficial?” and shared about their tutorial projects, binders, and agendas. AVID is a year-long elective that helps ordinary students become extraordinary by building skills, confidence, and perseverance. It gives students the tools and support they need to take charge of their learning—even when the work gets hard. 📚 Interested in AVID for 6th grade? Please contact your child’s teacher or guidance counselor for more information.

Our AVID students recently visited the 5th graders at Wellford Academy to show what the AVID elective looks like in action!

Students led a Philosophical Chairs activity asking, “Is Homework Beneficial?” Fifth graders also had the chance to talk with AVID students about tutorials, binders, and agendas—and see how AVID helps students stay organized and confident.

AVID is a year-long elective that empowers students with tools and support to take charge of their learning, persevere through challenges, and reach their goals.

🎶 Sound Waves in Action! 🎶
Students have been exploring sound waves in our wave unit and learning how amplitude and frequency affect pitch and volume. Today, they put that knowledge to work using Chrome Music Lab to create their own music remixes!
By experimenting with pitch, tempo, loops, and waveforms, students applied what they know about amplitude and frequency in a fun, hands-on way. 🎧🎼
We might just have some future composers or music producers in the making! 🎹✨
