From the Voyager Academy Managing Director, Nov. 6, 2020

Dear Voyager Community,

What an incredible week we’ve had at school.  We had the opportunity to celebrate and honor our Middle School National Junior Honor Society students at a virtual assembly on Wednesday evening. These young Viking scholars exemplified the National Honor Society pillars of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. We're so proud of all of our students and teachers across the school as they continue to deepen their learning and grow together. Our school counselors each held student social events this week to further develop relationships and support them socially and emotionally.  And we capped off Friday with an inspirational career talk to our 8^th graders from parent, Larry Long. The career talks started with a student idea, was developed further by Ms. Farrish, the school counselor and the middle school team, and supported by our parent volunteers.  What an incredible display of teamwork and community!

Hello Middle School Parents, 

It’s been a terrific week at Voyager Middle School!  I’ve been able to pop in several classes  and continue to be amazed at the way our students are handling remote learning.  I saw so many classes that had all students engaged in the learning process.  I could tell they were engaged as they were having discussion with their teachers centered around their lesson for the day.  I could also tell they were engaged in their learning process as I could see their faces.  Thanks to those of you who are supporting us by reminding your children to have their camera(s) on.  It does make a difference!
