Voyager Academy Middle School News, Dec. 15, 2019


Hello Middle School Families, 
It's been a busy week at Voyager Middle School. Our staff had professional development as we reviewed Project Based Learning and how to strengthen our project work.  Our sixth graders spent the week at Durham Arts Council preparing to present their play projects to our fifth graders and to their parents. Our 7th/8th grade music and drama classes prepared to present the musical The Rainbow Fish.  The singers, dancers, and cast were awesome. Our Student Council had a Snack Sale to raise money to support their service projects. Let’s not forget our athletes as our girls’ and guys’ basketball teams had a home game.  Both teams played hard and were very successful against Excelsior Charter School. In addition to all the projects, performances, sales, and games our students continued to work on their class assignments.
