Dear Viking Families, 
Don’t forget to check out our donations page on our website and help us raise money for activity buses for all our students! Our goal is to raise enough money by the end of May to secure buses to support all our student transportation needs including sports, performing arts, field trips and so much more! This is our most aggressive capital campaign in years! Please help us by donating to the capital campaign today.

A Note on Voyager Values
Do you know what our school values are?  (You get bonus points if you have also read our school’s strategic plan!)
The Board is guided by Voyager’s values in its work.  I believe it is also important to make sure every member of the Voyager community knows our values and helps us to exemplify them.  While I believe that our school is doing a terrific job with character education, including through the hard work of our counselors and staff, teaching our kids to embrace these values must start at home.  When we interact with our kids, each other, administration and staff, and the public, our children are watching.

Dear VAMS Families,

What a busy week with field trips, lots of sports being played and a PTO luncheon for the staff!

Our 6th graders enjoyed a field trip to Marbles/IMAX studio.  The students had a great time participating in experiments and hands-on activities dealing with science.  They also enjoyed watching the landing on the moon event at IMAX studio. It was awesome. To top off the trip, lunch was at Crabtree Valley’s Food Court.  The students were excited, well-mannered, engaged in their learning, and extremely polite and helpful to each other. I had the opportunity to go on the field trip and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the students during a terrific learning environment.  Thanks 6th grade team and  parents who attended the field trip!  Parents, you made it happen!!!!!
