Dear editor,

I was so pleased to see the article concerning the AVID Program at Inglewood High.
I was fortunate to work with four of these students in Inglewood’s Free Summer Lunch Program last summer. These students are everything we want our young people to be. They were responsible (didn’t miss one day of 11 weeks of service), were on time, took responsibility, and saw ways to make lunch service at their sites better and implemented their concepts.

I can’t rave enough about Avid students and their wonderful teacher/advisor, Yanick Clay. I’m hopeful that I will have more AVID students for the program next summer.

Please: more articles about IUSD and our young people. Education has been overlooked for far too long.
