Greenwich Alliance for Education will host ‘The Party’ on Saturday, June 10, to celebrate 10 years of AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination). The event recognizes Greenwich Public School AVID Alumni and Educators from 2013 to 2023.
The benefit fundraiser, to be held at Arch Street Teen Center, will include a special performance by Kovac Brothers, food provided by Pizza Luca, the Taco Guy, a silent auction, and more.
AVID is a shared vision and commitment between the Greenwich Alliance and Greenwich Public Schools. A national college-readiness system, AVID’s mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness and success in a global society. AVID students overcome obstacles and achieve success. They graduate and attend college at higher rates, but more importantly, they can think critically, collaborate, and set high expectations to conquer the challenges that await them confidently.
AVID was initially funded by a grant from the Alliance in 2008. Greenwich Public Schools now runs the program, although the Alliance continues to support students, teachers, and alums through AVID SUCCESS.
