This morning, VES students were greeted by a couple of special visitors who were there to encourage the students as start their first day of STAAR testing.
As part of Monday's review day for the STAAR test, students were able to move through several different review stations. Today was the first day of STAAR testing.
Yesterday, VES students selected one word to motivate them during the STAAR test, which starts today. After selecting their one word, they made a bracelet with that word on it to wear while they are testing.
On Monday, our VES 5th grade students put their art skills to work and decorated the walkways leading to the entrances to the school. The affirmations and encouraging words were there to greet all the students this morning as they start their STAAR testing.

So far this school year VHS seniors have covered 10 landmark court cases in their Government class. Last week, the students tested on the cases by drawing their knowledge of the court cases in shaving cream. Teacher Brett White said it was pretty cool to see their "vision" of the case.
Last week, our medical assistant students did a research project on MA jobs anywhere in the world. In their research they included information about salary, housing and utilities, accommodations such as transportation, food, and details about their job description/area of focus. CNA/MA instructor Candace Adams then incorporated their research into a game of Life using their careers, salary and housing information. The point of this was to show them the reality of the field of healthcare and the fact that you DON’T have to have a college degree (although it is encouraged) to be able to make a living and live LIFE! Our winner was Litzy Ayala who worked as an MA doing a travel gig in Seattle, WA and lived in a hotel while working. She finished out her “life” with $1.6 million!
