A.V.I.D. Bear

This bear is not easily accessible 

 

At the time of visit and publication, 4th May 2023 this bear, called AVID* Bear, does not have a plinth or permanent position, neither is it listed on the current / 2022 publication of the Bear Town Bears map.

Thank you again to Kenneth Monroe and the staff at New Bern High for permission to access the school grounds and for the escort to view this new bear.

His eventual home will be

New Bern High School

on Academic Drive

This will mean he may not be easily accessible without prior arrangement. 

  

* AVID = Advancement Via Individual Determination

I would like to thank the Deputy Principle at New Bern High for allowing me access to this bare (by prior arrangement). 

I would also like to thank the staff for helping me out, especially my / our 'escort', Kenneth Monroe. Kenneth, a fire fighter and the Soft Ball Coach at NBH, was very knowledgeable about the history of New Bern. It's such a shame that he was very busy as I could have listened to him for hours. He did, however, manage to give me some advice on good places to visit, which I'm sure I shall.
