AVID at Gunston
AVID
Gunston Elementary is so excited that we were selected to be the first elementary school in Fairfax County to become an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) elementary school.
One component of this program is building a culture of college and career readiness. We are collecting college or career swag to hang up in our cafeteria, gym, and throughout the building. We would love to have as many colleges represented that are a part of our families. If you have any “flare” such as pennants, t-shirts, stickers, etc. that you are willing to donate to decorate our walls please send them to the office.
In addition, we are excited to transform a room in our building into a Dorm Room which will be a place for principal lunch bunches and students can earn to go as an individual or class reward.
