@SMScorpions @RSD1_AVID scholars were privileged to receive information from admissions counselors from Columbia College, the University of South Carolina, and Midlands Technical College today!

@SMScorpions @RSD1_AVID Elective scholars understood their assignment! Students took ownership of our AVID Induction Ceremony. 8th grade students have found their voices, 7th have grown in confidence, and 6th will change the world! We honored our diversity throughout the program!

@SMScorpions AVID students celebrated National Train Your Brain Day by working collaboratively to solve logic puzzles and challenging each other with tumbling towers.

Joy. Small word, huge meaning. That’s what I felt as I watched my @SMScorpions 7th AVID students, several who are new to the program, share inform about their peers during partner introductions. A deeper dive into getting to know each other followed.@RSD1_AVID

Love seeing our Scorpions shine! Proud to be part of a school that puts advocacy and opportunities first!
