Today was Career Day at VES, and our students had the opportunity to explore a variety of future career paths. Students learned about a variety of careers, including construction, emergency medical services, science, speech therapy, physical therapy, meteorology, marketing, and business leadership, including what it takes to become a CEO. Students also had so much fun dressing up as what they want to be when they grow up. Thank you to everyone who took time to share about their careers and help inspire our students as they begin thinking about their futures! #BuildingFutures #VaughnEagles #whereexcellencelives

Thanks for your help!

Danica Jones, the VES STEM Scholarship recipient, stopped by to share her journey to becoming a nurse. Our Student Council representatives were able to ask her questions and learn more about the opportunities available to high school students.
Best of luck, Danica!

Tomorrow is Pirate Day in honor of Dan Santat's visit!

Kindergarten students have been learning about Earth's resources, the importance of keeping our planet clean, and the 3 R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Mrs. Stamps' class took their learning outside today and worked collaboratively to create worm habitats! By layering soil, grass/leaves, and water in jars, they are learning how worms help Earth by breaking down materials to support healthy soil.
These habitats will stay in the classroom so students can continue to observe, ask questions, and learn over time. We are so proud of their teamwork and curiosity!
