Attention 11th and 12th grade students and parents, join us January 17th, 6:30-7:30 at Vassar High School for a presentation from a financial aid specialist about Financial Aid with Q & A to follow! This is a great time to learn about all the opportunities out there and where to get started.
On December 2, 2023, some of our incredible Vassar 6-12 staff had the opportunity to speak to the future educators at SVSU in the TEMS302 class. What an inspiring experience it was, connecting with these budding teachers and sharing our passion for education!
Being able to engage with the next generation of educators was truly a privilege. The staff shared experiences, words of wisdom, and together fostered a sense of community dedicated to the growth and development of education.
Big thanks to Dr. Gould for providing this wonderful platform for collaboration and learning. It's moments like these that remind us of the incredible impact we can have on shaping the future of education.

More great news from Vassar MS and High School Robotics!
Congratulations to our Middle School Robotics team, who wrote a grant to the Tuscola County Community Foundation. Last night, team members and Mr. Tallman were presented with a check for $2500. The funds will allow the program to buy additional supplies.
As you may remember, high school robotics members Nick Tallman and Victoria DeKilata traveled to Dallas, Texas, to compete in the Bell AVR World Championship last week. The Flying Delorean team, comprised of members from Vassar, Lansing, and Hasslett, faced some connectivity issues during the competition but had a great showing when they placed 9th out of 14 teams. We are proud of our Vulcans for making it to the World Championship, but most of all, we are proud of how they behaved and represented our school and community.
Congratulations to the following Art students:
Landon Klinesmith
Wyatt Figard
Cassidie Sebert

Carmen Hernandez
These students had artwork chosen to be on display at Frankenmuth Credit Union (the branch next to Dragon Palace). Their work will be on display for the next month, stop in to see their great work!

Congratulations to our National NASRO Award winner Alexis Fabbro!
Alexis assisted in a medical emergency at a home volleyball game. Alexis sprang into action and ran to get the AED and first aid kit from the hall. She also offered her sweatshirt to put under the gentleman's head until EMS arrived. Alexis knew exactly what to do and where the first aid kit and AED were.
