PMS AVID Cleans Up its Act

This week, AVID classes performed their first community service project of the year by cleaning up the trail near our school that our program has adopted. Students filled 10 trash bags of litter that had been left along the trail or that had washed into the creek. Way to go, PMS AVID!

The trail runs for about half a mile, near Pflugerville High School and Moose Park, and can be found on the city's Adopt-a-Trail map (#17).

PMS AVID Has a Secret Santa!

The big focus of the AVID program is college - we always want students to be thinking about where they want to go, and why.

So this year, our AVID program reached out through a Teacher gift-exchange program to create connections between classrooms and individuals around the world. Our AVID class was matched with a Secret Santa who works at the Texas A&M Libraries. She sent us a care package full of college-y stuff, including a set of Big 12 pennants, Texas A&M posters, pencils, and keychains. She also sent us a personal letter describing her own higher education experience.

Thank you again to our generous Secret Santa!
