The AVID bookfair was very successful this year.  AVID students showed up to do free gift wrapping, reading to children, and cupcake decorating as their annual fundraiser.  A percentage of the sales were donated to the GTHS AVID program. 

Sophomore AVID students show off their university displays to their fellow students at the lunchtime AVID College Fair.  This was one of many activities during College Week.

Senior AVID students who have been in the program for at least 4 years were honored infront of their friends and family as they received special AVID stoles to wear at graduation.  Each student spoke about their future plans and about a special teacher who has played a significant role in their lives.  This was a very heartwarming occasion for students, their teachers, and their families.   

At the Passing of the Guard luncheon, the top 20 ranked Juniors earned their Honor Guard title.  Of the 20 Honor Guard members, the AVID programs is proud to boast that 11 of them are AVID students.
