👕 Tomorrow is AVID Wednesday! 📣
This week, we’re spotlighting Mrs. Stephanie DeWitt’s kindergarten class at William Jefferson Clinton Elementary. Students recently completed an AVID jigsaw activity on story elements. Each group became “experts” on characters, setting, beginning, middle, or end, and then taught their classmates what they learned.

“It’s been wonderful watching them collaborate, think critically, and deepen their understanding of how stories work! Way to go, scholars,” Mrs. DeWitt shared.

Don’t forget to wear your AVID shirts tomorrow, celebrate student success, and keep building those college and career ready skills!

We are super excited to share that Recycle Bikes for Kids will have about 20 bicycles and helmets to give away at our Trunk or Treat tonight! These are refurbished bikes that have been saved from the landfill, fixed, and made ready for their next life. These will be given out on a first-come, first-serve basis so be sure to come early!

RB4K's mission is to give free bikes to kids, provide adults the opportunity to earn a bike, and to support bike infrastructure and education in our community.

Founded by Ron King in 2008, Recycle Bikes For Kids started out as one man’s passion project to fix 100 bikes for kids for Christmas. Years later, we have now given out over 23,000 bikes to kids and adults across Central Arkansas.

You can learn more at https://www.recyclebikesforkids.org/.

Thank you to RB4K for being a community partner with us for this event.

🌊 When he’s not driving, Lillard enjoys going to the beach and relaxing.
🗣 “Some days it’s tough since we are so short on drivers, but seeing the students’ smiles and the gratitude of some make it all worth it,” Lillard said.
