Dear VAMS Families,
Our week after Fall Break was a very productive one. The students had much to share about their time away from school. After all the sharing, we were back in the groove of teaching and learning.
Report Cards
Report cards were sent home Friday with our students. If you did not receive your child’s report card, please check the book bag. The report cards are for the first quarter. Please keep the report card and send the signed envelope back to the teacher.

Cross Country
We are proud of our Cross Country Team! The championship meet was run on Monday. Voyager girls are Cross Country Conference Champions! The girls dominated the meet on Monday, taking four of the top five spots. Top five runners from Voyager were Liz Lalor, who came in first, followed by Kate Bakelaar, Dakota Tivnan, Eloise Leonard, and Elizabeth Bunn. The Voyager Cross Country boys also ran a great meet on Monday. They came in an extremely close second place. Top five runners were Cade Curtis, who came in first, followed by Parker Hinshaw, Dylan Ohlendorf, Langdon Redford, and KJ Davis. Thank you, Mrs. Mangano, for coaching our boys and girls again this year. Great job!
