Yesterday in Mrs. Loveland's 8th-grade science class, they learned about the Earth, Sun, and Moon's interactions. The students used a globe beach ball to represent the Earth, a black beach ball with a face on it to represent the moon and a flashlight to represent the sun. The students worked in groups to demonstrate their understanding of rotation, revolution and the reasons for the seasons. They did a great job with their demonstrations and had a little fun playing with the beach balls.
Vassar Public Schools received money from the ARP MV Homeless Grant. With this grant, we were able to purchase two clothes washers and dryers, one set at the 6-12 School and one set at Central. School Supplies, non-perishable food, household items, hygiene products, and clothes/winter gear were also purchased to help our students who are struggling with housing transitions. All these supplies were split between our two schools. This grant also supplied VPS with money for Camp Hartley and the Washington DC trip. Great things are happening at Vassar Public Schools!
We are so excited to have our first Fundraiser of the year for Central Elementary. These funds will be used to provide activities and events to enrich our students' learning. Please share with Friends and Family. Go Vulcans!
We are still accepting applications for an Elementary Principal. The deadline to apply is 3 o'clock this Friday. If you know someone who would be a great fit for our district please share the information below.

On Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, Mr Whitney’s Earth and Space Science classes went on a 5-mile hike to experience the Pere Marquette Rail Trail Solar System. Bob Mass and other artists shrunk all objects and distances by a factor of 600 million to give a proportional look at the relative sizes and distances between objects in our solar system. Starting with the Sun in Coleman, Michigan, and ending with Pluto (still not a planet) 5 miles down Route 10. A good time was had and the kids all left with a much more realistic view of our solar system.
Mrs. Piazza’s MS 1st hour Art class had lots of fun using diffusing paper this morning!
Check out this week's Vulcan View!
