8th grade literature students recently finished reading the novel A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. This story highlights the ongoing water crisis in South Sudan. Students turned their learning into action by collecting change to send to the charity featured in the novel. They collected $266.32 in total for “Water for South Sudan.”

Members of National Junior Honor Society at VJHS helped the faculty and staff at VES by wrapping Christmas presents.

Officially welcoming our newest class into the National Junior Honor Society! We couldn't be prouder of the 38 students being recognized for their amazing accomplishments. Congrats to all!
