Week #12 AVID 12

Dear AVID Students

I can not begin to express my gratitude for what you've done. It hasn't been easy dealing with Easton's illness, but knowing I have a class like you definitely helps. From staying on task and treating Mr. Iverson with outstanding respect, to organizing a fundraiser, you've really shown your growth as young leaders. Every time I think of all the effort you put into the last three weeks, I am amazed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You've helped in ways I can't even express. I will truly never forget this!

Sincerely


Mr. Zentz
