		I had the pleasure of teaching these wonderful students for three years. This picture was taken on graduation day, June 2009. They are adorned with honorary medals, honor grad cords, and AVID sashes. They are a testament to hard work. What a great looking group! From left to right: Karen Murrujo (Salutatorian), Matthew Kidd (Valedictorian), Mary Naoom (Valedictorian).
