📚 Our Pre-K students had a special visit from guest reader Dr. Laurel “Laurie” Tait, Zone 7 PCSSD School Board member. The kids loved listening, learning, and laughing along to How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? and I’m Not Scared, You’re Scared.
💙 Experiences like this help build a strong foundation for lifelong literacy. Thank you, Dr. Tait, for your time, your leadership, and your dedication to our students #BakerBroncos #ReadAloud #EarlyLiteracy #PCSSDproud #ServeAll

🎓 AVID Wednesday Spotlight: WICOR in Action! ✏️📚
The foundation of AVID techniques is the WICOR framework — Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading — and it was on full display at Sylvan Hills High School.
In Mrs. Bridges’ history class, students explored industrialization and its impact on countries worldwide. After reading about the topic in class, they dug deeper through research, organized their findings into visual models, collaborated on large‑scale posters, and used inquiry to understand how global events shaped the modern world.
👕 Don’t forget to wear your college or career shirt tomorrow and celebrate the strategies that help our scholars think critically and dream big.
