If you would like to support the AVID program at Edison Middle School please see how you can get involved below. We are not just looking for monetary, or supply donations, but more importantly for the dedication of your time and any community resources to enrich and support the AVID student.
We are also looking to broaden the horizons of our AVID students through community service. Please contact us if you have a middle-school appropriate service opportunity that would allow Edison Middle School AVID students to get involved in the Champaign-Urbana area. |
