Thank Lapo Vandalia for teaching our students today! Mrs. Cunningham’s Enrichment class had a great day of extending their learning of table manners and etiquette. Lapo agreed to provide a lesson on Asian etiquette and to teach the students how to use chopsticks. They surprised the students by also providing crab rangoon and chicken and noodles to practice their skills. They were wonderful hosts and we were very grateful for their hospitality.

Happy Custodian Appreciation Day!
Behind every bright hallway and clean classroom is a custodian working tirelessly to keep our schools safe, healthy, and welcoming. You handle the heavy lifting, the unexpected messes, and everything in between with smiles on your faces.
To our amazing custodial crew: thank you for being the quiet heroes who keep our school running every day!

Good afternoon families. First and foremost, I want to let you know there is not an emergency. Everyone is safe. Our intruder alarm went off at VES. All safety protocols were followed as if this was a real situation. It was a system malfunction and we have backup plans to use in the meantime while we get the system issue resolved hopefully by 4:00 p.m. We are about 10 minutes behind now with bus routes. We hope to see you this evening for our Homecoming football game. Go Vandals!
