Chestnut Log Middle School (CLMS) kicks off the college football season with AVID College Day! Advancement Via Individual Determination commonly known as AVID has a mission to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. Douglas County School System began the AVID initiative at the start of the 2020-2021 school year.
Faculty and students at CLMS represent their favorite colleges and universities in a spirited day of academic pride. Top athletic rivals and notable higher learning institutions create a buzz around the school, sparking conversations encouraging college and career readiness.
Chestnut Log faculty take this opportunity to empower students by sharing what it takes to be college-ready. Grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for lunch are an added attraction for the faculty.
Chestnut Log incorporates an AVID College Day bi-monthly during the school year, in support of students succeeding on a path to college and career success.
