Congratulations to the students who made Honor Roll for Semester 1 of the 2023-2024 school year! Keep up the hard work!
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 9 PM tonight until noon tomorrow. Please use caution tomorrow on your drive to school. (Slow down) Any further announcements regarding possible schedule adjustments will be made in the morning.
Wow! What a way to kick off Christmas Break! VMS staff and students had a (half) day packed full of fun and games!
Staff participated in a game of Roshambo (Rock, Paper, Scissors) throughout the morning (thanks Mrs. Foster!) This resulted in a semi-final of Mrs. Bancroft (our awesome substitute for Mrs. Steskal) vs. Mr. Sayer and the final match of Mr. Sayer vs. Mrs. Gass... although we're not sure if Mrs. Gass necessarily played fair 😉
Watch the videos here!

Following the Roshambo finals, students were recognized with near perfect attendance awards for the 1st semester, 2nd quarter Badger Effort Awards and then the grand finale of the Quiz Bowl tournament that student competed in all morning. Mrs. Perrett's Badger Pause beat out Mrs. Thorpe's Badger Pause by 1 point!
It was a great day at VMS and we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
VMS Lost & Found - last day. If any of your students belongings are pictured below, please come to the school today and claim.

Mrs. Keller's 5th grade Social Studies classes studied and reenacted the expulsion of Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1600’s due to their dissent with the established Puritan clergy. Therefore, students portraying Hutchinson and Williams received Conduct Reports from the office expelling them! 😁😉
