In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and all the

strides he took to make justice and equality the norm of

today, Elementary students participated in a Peace

March on Friday, January 16th. Students made signs

and banners representing Peace and Equality, and then

got to hear poetry and essay excerpts written by fellow

students. They finished off with a very heart-warming

Peace Walk around the center field.

March for Peace

Give peace to the world.

No violence or fighting.

Give peace to the world.

Must share and care.

Give peace to the world!

Let everyone have freedom.

Give peace to the world!

-Fiona Cunningham, 3rd Grader

The Fly Guy series

catches young read-

ers typically in

grades 2—5, and

gets kids reading

and loving it. Fly

Guy has adventures

and experiences

that will keep your

readers wanting the

next book. Funny

and entertaining, it’s

a good one for par-

ents to read aloud

with their child as

well.

There are currently

19 Fly Guy books,

including 14 in the

series and 5 special

Fly Guy Presents

books.

The Yearbook needs your help! We’re searching for

photos, whether it be fun photos during a performance,

friendly snapshots after school, or candid pictures

during the day-to-day, we want to include everyone’s

happy faces in our yearbook. Please submit your pho-

tos now.

Ways to Support

your Student

From Home from www.avid.org

Talk to your student about school

Be aware of your student’s classes and his/her perfor-

mance in each. Praise your student’s strengths and

help him/her find ways to improve in areas of weak-

ness.

Ask to look at your student’s binder.

Review your student’s tutorial request forms to see what

kinds of questions he/she is asking in class.

Find out who your student’s friends are.

Be enthusiastic and supportive. Your student’s partici-

pation in AVID will keep him/her motivated and excited

about reaching the goal of attending a four-year college

or university.
