💙🧡 Exploring Future Opportunities! 🧡💙

Our AVID students recently had the opportunity to visit Emerald Coast Technical College (ECTC) to explore the many programs and career pathways they have to offer! 🎓

This experience gave our students a firsthand look at the skills, training, and opportunities available right here in our community as they begin thinking about their future goals.

A huge thank you to ECTC for hosting our students and providing such an engaging and informative experience! 👏

💙🧡 Teamwork in Action in AVID! 🧡💙

Mrs. Robinson’s AVID students recently took on a fun (and challenging!) team-building activity that put their communication and collaboration skills to the test.

Students worked together to navigate obstacles while each person held onto a bandana supporting a cup with a marble on top—no easy task! Their goal was to carefully move as a team and successfully drop the marble into a trashcan… without letting it fall.

If the marble dropped, they had to start all over—teaching perseverance, patience, and the importance of working together toward a common goal. 💪

This hands-on activity was a great reminder that success doesn’t happen alone—it takes focus, trust, and teamwork!

⭐ 5th Grade: Alex Reno
⭐ 6th Grade: Dakarai Smith
⭐ 7th Grade: Ava Stuart
⭐ 8th Grade: Abel Crile

We are proud of these Bulldogs for setting a great example for others and showing that responsibility builds trust, leadership, and strong character.
