FREE ICE CREAM for all Vassar students TOMORROW! Bring your school ID or report card to Finish Line Pizza/Chocolates Galore to receive a scoop of yummy ice cream.
Thank you to the Gleaner Vulcaneers for treating our students to ice cream at Finish Line on the last day of school!
Ms. Char's freshmen welcomed 2nd and 3rd graders for a special reading celebration! After studying The Odyssey and exploring Greek values, freshmen created original children’s books focused on the Six Pillars of Character—Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.
Mrs. Janus, Mrs. McTaggart, Mrs. Petzold, and Mrs. Plant were kind enough to bring their classes over to the high school cafeteria to have their students read the book to their teen author/reading buddies. The elementary students left with a handmade book, a signed certificate, and a reading punch card to continue their reading adventures at home. This project, inspired by Mrs. Hackett and her beloved tradition from 34 years ago, brought two generations together to celebrate literacy, character, and community.
Thank you to our elementary teachers and students for visiting, and to our freshmen for sharing their creativity and heart!

On Wednesday, we celebrated the accomplishments of our middle school students during our End-of-Year Awards Assembly.
Students were recognized for their hard work, dedication, and achievements throughout the school year. Awards were presented for Academic Excellence, Honor Roll, and Perfect Attendance. We also had the privilege of recognizing one outstanding 8th grade student, Zya Baumgarner, with the 8th Grade Citizenship Award for demonstrating exceptional character, leadership, responsibility, and kindness.
We are incredibly proud of all of our students and the effort they have put forth this year. Congratulations to all of our award recipients, and thank you to our parents who showed up to support their students. We wish everyone a safe, enjoyable, and well-deserved summer break! ☀️
