November is Empathy Month at VAHS
em·pa·thy
/ˈempəTHē/
noun
The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
|
This is an all-school, parent event to socialize and have fun. All K-12 parents are invited and encouraged to attend! There will be food, music, friends, colleagues, a cash bar, and most importantly, memories. Your contribution to this event will help make it a night to remember!
All the money raised will go right back into Voyager. We will use the money raised to help Voyager families who need support-- things like funding field trips, purchasing school supplies, and covering participation fees for sports and the arts. We will also use money raised to further develop our arts and technology departments.

VAHS Bass Assassins Take the Prize on Jordan|
Another great day of fishing last weekend on Jordan Lake by four of our Bass Assassin's teams. The team of Kyle Dillon and Brycen Hendriks took 2nd place. We had three other teams placing as well...Tyler McLamb/Austin Haney, Collin Tunstall/Casey Hudson, and Avery Doughty/Cade Dunn took 5th, 6th, and 7th respectively. This week we are off to beautiful Lake Norman for the Riley's Cup Tournament.
The team also held a fundraising bake sale this week which was a huge success.Thanks you to all the bass team parents who provided "goodies" for us to sell. We will be starting to sell Hershey Candy bars for our next fundraiser so be on the lookout for the bright orange boxes.
We had a great time at Fall Festival this year with our first ever pitch-and-cast fundraising stand. We enjoyed showing the children how to use the fishing poles and have some future fishers in the bunch for sure!
