Students describe AVID, Juntos and school activities; board hears student voices
Summary
Student leaders reported on recent school events—dances, sports achievements and after-school programs (AVID, Juntos)—and underscored the value of tutoring and support programs for college preparation.
Student representatives and club leaders told the board about recent school activities: a November dance, athletic championships and after-school program experiences in AVID and Juntos. Seventh- and eighth-grade students described how the programs teach study skills, Spanish-language practice and social-emotional skills to prepare for high school.
"Jugando en el equipo de voli... me enseñó muchas cosas y me cambió la mentalidad," one student said, summarizing the program’s impact. Students also invited board members to upcoming concerts and assemblies and photographed student representatives with the board at the meeting.
