AVID Word of The Month  

JanuaryContext

Hello students of RLS, your AVID word of the month is Context. Context is the words, pictures, circumstances or environment that give something meaning. 

You may think that when Mr. Ryan wore “jortz” he was trying too hard to be cool and had lost his mind. Really, it was dress like a student day and he had stolen his son’s clothing. Context matters.

This Week in ACTIVITIES and "Caught you demonstrating..."

6th:       Paola Argueta Hernandez / Respect, Empathy, Integrity

7th:       Javeria Khan / Perseverance, Respect

8th:       Liam Nancarrow / Empathy

            Sophia OM / Respect
