👕 AVID Wednesday Spotlight: College Campus Visits! 🎓

This week, we are recognizing AVID scholars who are stepping beyond the classroom and onto real university campuses — experiencing college life firsthand.

These visits give our students a glimpse of what their futures can look like. They can learn about majors, scholarships, and campus traditions, and leave inspired to keep working toward their goals.

Don’t forget to show your support for college and career readiness across PCSSD by wearing an AVID shirt and sharing your past or preparing for your future. #PCSSDproud #AVID #ServeAll

💼 Freshman Seminar students at Mills High School had the chance to practice real‑world skills in mock job interviews with volunteers from the Pulaski County Bar Association.
📝 Students prepared resumes, learned interview strategies, and put their new skills into action. The volunteers were impressed with their professionalism and potential!
🙌 A big thank‑you to the volunteers for investing their time to help our scholars prepare for future success.

👕 Tomorrow is AVID Wednesday! 📣
This week, we’re spotlighting Mrs. Stephanie DeWitt’s kindergarten class at William Jefferson Clinton Elementary. Students recently completed an AVID jigsaw activity on story elements. Each group became “experts” on characters, setting, beginning, middle, or end, and then taught their classmates what they learned.

“It’s been wonderful watching them collaborate, think critically, and deepen their understanding of how stories work! Way to go, scholars,” Mrs. DeWitt shared.

Don’t forget to wear your AVID shirts tomorrow, celebrate student success, and keep building those college and career ready skills!

Coming soon to a school near you! The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Harris style! This is a fun family project that we do in November! You and your family will build a float for our parade, if you choose to participate! There are 2 requirements: it must have at least one balloon, and it must roll. Stay tuned for all of the details! Here are some floats from last year! I can't wait to see what you all make this year!
