Summer School Update
AVID Strategy of the Week
This week's strategy is a celebration...Lake Air Montessori has met all requirements to receive certification as an official AVID Elementary Campus!! We will continue to work hard to incorporate best learning practices into our daily curriculum. Our next goal as a campus is to become an AVID demonstration school. Celebrating victories and setting new goals is a very important strategy not only in school, but in life. What success have you had recently, and what is your new goal?
