What an amazing day! Today felt like AVID! The AVID boys went around to 7th grade flex classes to, "recruiting" potential AVID students by way of slide presentations that they created. They definitely peaked the interest of some students. My only regret is that I did not get pictures of them in action. It won't happen again. We visit the 6th graders on Friday.
