The Real-World Reading class will be holding a presentation night January 7 to share their first semester projects. At the beginning of the year, students were tasked with identifying a problem, finding a solution for that problem, and sharing their results. Presentation night will give students the experience of speaking in front of an audience and hopefully allow them to share how they have impacted the world. Attendees are welcome to stay for all of the presentations or come and go as necessary. If you have questions about attending, please contact Brian Bratt at bbratt@vbschools.net. #VBexperience

Our goal is to create a positive #VBexperience and empower not only our students, but our staff as well! This year, we created a program that provided teachers with an opportunity to individualize their professional learning.
