Ms. Funston’s 8th grade advisory class visited Mrs. Beacker’s 1st grade class for a fun-filled time of connection, laughter, and
teamwork. Our students loved spending time together and building friendships across grade levels—such a meaningful experience for everyone!
Sixty students recently participated in the VMS Leadership Lock-in on March 20th and 21st. This was the culminating service project designed and facilitated by students who attended the DOWEA Europe Junior Leadership Seminar (JLS) in Hübingen, Germany in December. The action-packed two-day event offered exciting and engaging leadership and team-building activities as well as an overnight lock-in.
Spring break has officially arrived, bringing longer days, warmer sunshine, and a well-deserved pause in our busy routines. It’s the perfect time to recharge—whether that means traveling somewhere new, spending time outdoors, or simply enjoying a slower pace at home.
As flowers begin to bloom and everything feels a little brighter, we hope this break brings you moments of joy, rest, and a fresh sense
