MSE students focused on Teamwork during their most recent HOUSE meeting. All 5 HOUSES worked to complete tasks that require teamwork to accomplish. The older students also learned Leadership skills by helping the younger ones complete the task. The HOUSE system helps to create a culture of belonging and support among our students.

Mrs. Emily Kent tasked her AVID elective students with the mission to construct a complete, freestanding ring using only a can of Pringles and their ingenuity. It was up to each group to use AVID’s Goal, Plan, Action (GPA) framework when approaching the task. Afterwards, students debriefed to reflect on their collaborative strengths and identify areas for improvement.
One tribe, one mission, building RELATION-CHIPS and collaboration in AVID.
