Shoutout to Mars Subola and Taylor Bailey for organizing East High School's 3rd annual drag show! This event takes a lot of organizing, coordinating, and planning, and they both do such a great job every year!

Ms. Fleming: Thank you for the love and kindness you show your 4th graders every day! We appreciate the enthusiasm you've shown in joining VHE and the hard work you put into forming connections with your students and creating a sense of community in your classroom.

With appreciation, Meg Sprecher & Jori Maron

You consistently put in the work to understand each learner—their strengths, struggles, and unique personalities. Your classroom is a place where students feels seen, valued, and supported. Thank you for being a beacon of kindness and positivity, and for showing our students what it means to be respected and cherished for who they are. You are making a difference every single day!

Adam, thank you so much for being a team player and helping out whenever you see a need. Your care for students is evident in the way you move

Sue Esser- Secretary at Black Hawk middle school: Sue goes above and beyond for students at Black Hawk!! We always look forward to seeing her friendly face at the front desk when we come into the front office. All of the paperwork and attendance questions she helps us with does not go unnoticed. She has a way of making students feel welcomed as soon as they walk in the door always telling them she's excited to see them at school that day. She does much more than her secretary duties, including, helping my student and several others to work through peer conflicts and provide a safe space for them to express themselves freely when they are upset. Thank you Sue!!!!

Much gratitude goes to Cory DeGroff for the recent update to all LED lights at Doyle. The hallways and staircases are much brighter. Thank you Cory! - Tech Services
