Wolves: Get ready for our 2nd annual, district-wide Portrait of a Graduate Festival sponsored by AVID! This will take place Jan. 22- 26. This is a great time to discuss what each Portrait of a Graduate quality looks like along with spreading college readiness and knowledge campus-wide! The AVID Site Team will be coordinating small activities for the week. Get out those college tees and start thinking about our, "College Door Decorating", the easy way!"
