AVID speaker: Mr. Bart Vandegrift

We has the privilege of hearing Mr. Bart Vandegrift, the Chelan County Court Commissioner today, for the AVID speaker of the week. Mr. Vandegrift has been an appointed judge for the juvenile and family court for the past 17 years. I really liked his words of wisdom that he presented today:

1. If you're not a genius, work harder.

2. Make friends with inspirational people.

3. Get out of your comfort zone.

4. READ READ READ 

(and no, I didn't pay him to say that!) He encouraged the students to read everything they enjoy and then try something new. Wow, I couldn't have said it better.
