Watching one of my AVID girls play in the first night of softball playoffs! Ashley was nominated for 3 of our end of year awards today bc her classmates have seen her juggle a full course load while also being a varsity player. #hhs9 #lisdavid #thisisavid #hebronsoftball

Hebron 9 AVID representation at Pantherland Day! #PVAMU #lisdavid #hhs9 #collegeready

Today AVID ss flipped over a tarp while remaining standing on it, reflected on frustrating & exciting parts, & we talked about how difficult it can be to create change if too many people are taking different actions or one person stays standing still. #hhs9 #thisisavid #lisdavid

And the day continues! Lunch in the Student Union at @UT_Dallas and a tour by an awesome @depsi_beta student. #hhs9 #lisdavid #collegeready

I am SO excited!!! I requested a grant from the Castle Hills Education Foundation to hang college flags on both sides of our main hallway, but then I was out for a while for surgery. I finally got the order together, and we’re almost ready to get them set up! #hhs9 #lisdavid

I am exhausted, but I think AVID enjoyed today! We took our midterm in December, so today we had a Mardi Gras Murder Mystery Party!! (Psst don't tell them they had to read, communicate, listen, understand characterization, and make inferences) #hhs9 #lisdavid #teambuilding

What an inspiration. 💙 “...having grown up in foster care and survived cancer at age 18. She's the first person in her family to graduate high school and go to college, intending to study criminal justice.” https://t.co/0Ruvy4pU3d

Charlie is so proud of his grades right now & I’m so happy he’s proud. Today his TRF was over how to live more lavishly because he’s just doing so well. 😂 I let him have this one, but I did suggest the last step be to keep the grades up. @MrsEverettCVMS #hhs9 #lisdavid

During today’s severe weather drill, I suggested they use the forced quiet time to just close their eyes and relax or meditate. I love this kid. #hhs9 #lisdavid #meditation

AVID meets all together once a week, but we still love the unexpected times together. #hhs9 #lisdavid #familytime

On Mon AVID ss wrote their name on colored paper & then passed them around, writing something they admire or like about each person. They got to read them yest & enjoy some Valentine's goodies! (Notice how they still have open books & laptops) #hhs9 #lisdavid #alwaysworktodo

This girl is an impressive example of determination on the court. You‘ve got quite a bit of your AVID fam here cheering you on, Cammie. #lisdavid #ladyhawks #hhsbasketball

[Hebron9 AVID @Hebron9AVID]

Using our new whiteboard for tutorials! Thanks @JillAdamsjh! #lisdavid #avidtutorials #hhs9

[Hebron9 AVID @Hebron9AVID]

These boys felt like they didn’t really need tutorials today bc it’s the end of the 6 weeks. So I’m letting them solve this real life problem. #authenticlearning #authenticreading #lisdavid #hhs9 #todayathhs #newwhiteboard #howdowedothis
