AVID National Conference was last week in San Diego, hosting about 1400 administrators and teachers from across the country. Students from San Diego High, Farb Middle, and Miller Elementary beautifully showed their confidence and public speaking skills while sharing their appreciation of AVID. Ruben from San Diego High’s Business & Leadership Academy states, “AVID taught me if I don’t ask questions, I won’t succeed. My community undervalues education and education does change lives.” Tra from Farb Middle says, "I’ve always wanted to go to college and AVID makes the path clear for me." Christina from Miller Elementary adds, "With AVID, I learned how to take notes to remember what I read." All the students commented how AVID feels like family, building confidence and friendships. Brooklyn from Farb Middle feels “every school should be an AVID school to help students be their best selves.”
