Congratulations VBMS October Noble Knights!!!
Jordan Rinker - 6th Grade Team
Jordan repeatedly goes above and beyond in her classes, often stretching herself beyond the required work, which was noticed even by a substitute staff member.
Seth Gregory - 7th Grade Team
Seth shares his knowledge with others in class while showing a great work ethic. He excels at demonstrating kindness to others, even when no one's watching.
Walter Oestreich - 8th Grade Team
Walter comes to class each day excited with a positive attitude and ready to learn. He works to help others success and is a terrific role model for his peers.




8th graders are researching for an expository essay including how the going to the beach benefits your body and mental health. #VB1Team #VBexperience #seizethedayVBMS


6th grade families: It's not too early to think about vaccinations required for seventh grade! Next year’s 7th grade (age 11 or older) students need the following immunizations: 1 dose of Tdap and 1 dose of Meningococcal Vaccine. Contact Hancock Public Health or your physician

It's hard to believe that the first quarter is now in the rear-view mirror! Grade cards will be distributed to middle school students November 11 or 12. #VB1team #VBexperience #seizethedayVBMS


7th grade campers will be en route soon. Pick up is planned to start between 2:15-2:30pm just north of the school campus. Please use this map to navigate.
