Donation Supports Royal Palm Beach High School’s AVID Program

Royal Palm Beach High School’s AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) students will soon benefit from a generous donation.

The Horace Mann Companies funded the entire project posted to www.donorschoose.org by teacher Gwynne Eldridge. Eldridge’s project sought funding for individual student thesauri as well as 10 hardbound thesauri for the classroom. The possession of these materials will add another layer of depth to students’ vocabulary acquisition.

The donation, made by the company on behalf of their local representative, Donna Peterich, is much appreciated. The AVID program supports students who have college potential but need extra assistance through college readiness skills, strategies and activities.
