September's Big Idea for the Month is Friendship. Take some time this month to talk to your child about what it means to be a good friend. Each Month, a character quality is highlighted by our counselors and teachers using the program Core Essential Values.
Our 3rd grade scientists have been exploring the fascinating journey of plant growth. They've been hands-on, planting seeds, nurturing them, and closely observing the changes that take place over time. At Vaughn, we're not just growing plants; we're also budding data scientists! 📊📈 Students have been learning how to collect, organize, and analyze their data. They are also developing critical thinking skills as they ask questions, make predictions, and seek answers through experimentation.
They're not just learning about plants; they're learning how to think like scientists!

Did you know that we are not the original Vaughn School? From 1913-1960, the Vaughn Community had it's own 1st-12th grade school. We received a special gift of $500 for our school from the Vaughn School Alumni Association today. Their generous donation will be used to benefit our Eagles Give Back Program. We appreciate your support and are proud to be in Vaughn!
