Spring is definitely here! Be sure to check book bags and watch your email as this time of year flies by. There are many activities coming up at all levels. Continue to check PowerSchool grades. It is easy for students to fall behind with the increase of spring activities after school hours. 3rd - 8th graders have been completing State Assessments. The assessments will wrap up April 24th. Here is our link to our building's Board report.

Awesome job to the VFHS Choir and their director Phoebe Stottlemire for qualifying for state music in Salina on April 25th. The Choir earned a 1 rating at regionals Saturday, April 11th at Benedictine. Awesome work!
Summer League Volleyball is just around the corner, we will be playing in league at Jeff West. Coach McAfee sent out physical copies of entry forms to all interested 8-11th graders. Forms and payment are due back ASAP.
The second grade class enjoyed learning more about the American flag this afternoon from Ardith Spencer. She was also able to present a gift from the VFW Auxiliary to WillowGrace, who was the local winner in the VFW Auxiliary's National Art Contest Illustrating America. WillowGrace's painting titled "Freedom" has been sent to Department (State of KS) for state judging. The state winner will compete at the VFW Auxiliary Nationals. Good luck WillowGrace!
If you have a second grade student, ask them what they learned today about our flag. They each received a small flag, bookmark and color page. Thank you, Ardith, for this annual education session.
