AVID FAMILY FESTIVAL
On the evening of Thursday, December 1st, dozens of Hardee Junior High's AVID students along with their families and their AVID teachers (Mrs. McGuckin, Mrs. Faulk, and Mrs. Myers) and several members of the HJH AVID site team (Mrs. Pace and Mrs. Durrance) had a fantastic Family Festival at Heartland Events, alongside many HHS AVID students and their families and HHS AVID teachers (Mrs. Aubry, Mrs. Collom, Mrs. Trott, and Mrs. Hays). This was the first of hopefully many events that combined AVID students from both schools. Students and their families received free admission, and each AVID student also received a free meal ticket. Each HJH AVID student also received a bag of freshly popped kettle corn. It was a simple and relaxing night of fun and games, fellowship in the fresh air, and nice cool weather.
SFSC College Presentation
All 3 AVID Classes had a chance to participate in a really cool event led by representatives from SFSC. The students were divided into 4 groups and then those 4 groups were divided in half and they rotated to 3 different stations and competed against the other team. The winning team won a medal for each event and the final winners won prizes. It was a blast!

New AVID Shirts!
Thanks to MOSAIC for helping purchase these shirts for our AVID students and site team. 7th grade AVID students, Teresa Velasco-Rojas and Jaqueline Romero-Serrano, designed the shirts which say "If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it" by Ronnie Lott, a former NFL player, on the back, and have the graduation year of each class on the sleeve.
