👕 AVID Wednesday! 👕
Don’t forget to show your AVID pride by rocking your college and career shirts tomorrow! At Daisy Bates Elementary, Tigers took AVID to the next level with their annual Rock Your School Week. 🐯
Teachers flipped their classrooms into real-world career spaces — from doctors’ offices 🩺 to other exciting professions — giving scholars a chance to explore college and career pathways in hands-on, creative ways. 🎓
This event and AVID are all about helping our scholars DREAM BIG, set goals, and see their future selves in action. A huge shoutout to our teachers for making learning an adventure every single day! 📚

Mrs. Wood’s students became scientists as they explored chemical reactions through a fun toothpaste experiment! Hands-on learning and lots of smiles made this science lesson one to remember! 🧪✨
Calling all Bronco Families!
Our students have been exploring Economics and learning all about wants and needs—understanding that needs are essential for survival and well-being, while wants are things we desire but can live without.
To celebrate their learning, we’re excited to host our Annual Wants and Needs Event on October 31st!
We need your help to make it a success—please start sending in big bags of individually packaged treats or snacks to support our celebration.
More details will be coming soon, but mark your calendars for this fun and meaningful event celebrating our students’ hard work and learning!
