The Hershey Golf Invite on April 11th has been moved to April 9th due to the weather forecast. We will send our Varsity team to Hershey (Oregon Trails Golf Club in Sutherland) and our JV team will still be hosting a triangular at 4 pm on Tuesday at Frederick Peak.
NSCAS (state) testing will begin next week at VES for our 3rd-5th graders. As we posted earlier this week, it is important that students are getting a good night's rest and eat a healthy breakfast the morning of a test. It is important that they are here on these test dates barring any extreme illness. Attached is the schedule for VES NSCAS testing. Here's to seeing the growth our students have shown this school year! Encourage your child to put forth their best effort on these tests to show how they've grown!
The HS track team will be departing at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning. The original time was 7:30 a.m.

We are focusing on putting for our best effort as staff and students as we gear up for state testing and the end of the year. We had a record number of badger paws come through the office, and pictured are some of our students who earned one last week. Good work, Badgers!
We had some good ole fashioned fun on April Fools Day today at VES, but we like to have fun on other days besides April 1. Pictured are kindergartners completing a tough connect the dots (magnifying glasses needed) per student request, continued 5th grade "salutations" fun, reading buddies, and a Badger head for hat day.
On Thursday, March 28, the VES 5th Grade class treated the school and then later parents and the community to a fantastic musical. There was incredible singing, dancing, and overall performing; they captivated the crowd! A special shoutout to Mrs. McQuistan for all of her hard work and inspiration! Thanks to all other staff involved in helping put on this special performance.
