🌟 AVID in Action 🌟 This semester, our AVID students completed community service projects based on their interests, volunteering both on campus and in the community. Students helped by organizing supplies, tutoring, feeding the homeless, supporting local shelters, assisting at the library, and more.

💙 EMS Proudly Honors Our Veterans❀ đŸ€Our campus was thrilled to host our 3rd Annual Veteran Breakfast & Celebration to honor our community members that have served in the United States Armed Forces. The student led event was a huge success and we enjoyed having our community on campus! The Trevor Browne JROTC Color Guard presented the colors while Hannah Gomez sang a beautiful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. Thank you to our beginning band students for the wonderful performance during breakfast. too! Our cheerleaders and the student council members engaged in conversations with our special guests. Many students submitted essays for the Patriotic Essay Contest and Camila shared hers from the podium. A special shout out to Jasmine, our ETV Morning News anchor for serving as the event emcee. The American Legion Riders made a grand entrance and meeting the bald eagle from Liberty Wildlife was a special experience this year. Thank you to our cafeteria manager, Yolanda, for cooking a delicious breakfast!
