It's about time...

Being new to the blogging world has proved more challenging than I thought. It's been a very busy year for AVID students and teachers. Here are a few updates:

Poly AVID Students participated in the Riverside County Regional Medical Center's Festival of Trees in November. Students decorated a tree that was displayed in the "Elves Forest" area of the Festival. The event raised money for the County Medical Center.

Poly AVID Students volunteered at the 5th Annual Junior League of Riverside Kids in the Kitchen health fair on March 13th. Their support helped to make the event a remarkable success.

Seniors are seeing their hard work pay off with college admissions rolling in. They have been accepted to many colleges, including: Mills College, Pacific Union College, Woodbury University, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis, CSU Fullerton, CSU Northridge, CSU Los Angeles, CSU Dominguez Hills, Prairie View A&M University, Webster University, UC Merced, San Jose State, CSU Chico and many more.

It's time to apply for AVID for next year. Any student in 8th grade or currently attending Poly who would like to apply for the program should contact Ms. Cunningham in room 608 or send an e-mail to ccunningham@rusd.k12.ca.us

More updates will be coming soon, I hope!
