Dear VAES Families,
Our third graders have been fine tuning their editing skills during Writing Workshop by helping the first graders edit their realistic fiction stories!  They are planning to celebrate their final writing together!  Also, our first graders enjoyed having a beekeeper as one of their guest experts for their Third Trimester Misunderstood Animal Project.

Voyager Academy Middle School News, March 17, 2019



Dear VAMS Families,
Even thought this was a short week, it was full of learning and full of fun!


Our students and staff celebrated Spirit Days.  Wednesday was Wacky Tacky Day. Thursday was Twin Day and Friday was true School Spirit Day.  We had our annual Student – Staff basketball games (girls and boys). Students had the opportunity to attempt a mid-court shot and/or a 3 point shot.  Our teachers played very hard and scored points but our girls’ basketball team and boys’ basketball team were determined to outscore the teachers and they did!  Based on the cheering and laughter, all students had a great Friday afternoon. Thanks to Student Council for coordinating and to Mrs. McKenna and Landon Lawrence for serving as MC.
