AVID—Advancement Via Individual Determination—gives students the academic skills, confidence, and support they need to make informed choices about their futures, whether they pursue college, career pathways, or both. Your contribution helped us welcome these students into a program designed to empower them from day one.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we were able to host a meaningful and engaging AVID Freshman Academy orientation before the school year even began. Students arrived nervous and unsure, but the moment they saw the supplies laid out for them—binders, dividers, notebooks, and all the tools they would use throughout the year—their faces lit up. Many commented that it was the first time they had ever received school materials that felt \"official\" or \"college‑ready.\" As they moved through the day, meeting their classmates, exploring campus, and learning about their upcoming coursework, you could see their confidence grow. They began to see themselves not just as new high schoolers, but as part of a community.\r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful parts of the academy was the relational capacity we were able to build. AVID places a strong emphasis on connection, trust, and teamwork, and your donation made it possible for students to participate in collaborative activities that helped them bond with one another and with their teachers. By the end of the day, students who had walked in quietly were laughing, sharing stories, and already making plans for the year ahead. They left knowing where their classes were, who their support system would be, and what steps they would take to reach their goals.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just provide supplies—it created a welcoming, supportive environment that set the tone for the entire school year. Our students are now entering high school feeling prepared, connected, and excited for what lies ahead. Thank you for investing in their success and helping them start their AVID journey with confidence and pride.","fullyFundedDate":1787892332667,"projectUrl":"project/avid-freshman-academy-launching-leaders/10248550/","projectTitle":"AVID Freshman Academy: Launching Leaders Before Day One","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Owens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5444724_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1528120672436","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5444724"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6506","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":258,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":39,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":62.7,"schoolId":6506,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wagener - Salley High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wagener - Salley High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/aiken-county-school-district/wagener-salley-high-school/6506"}
