We'll see our students back at VES on January 2nd.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of the VES students, families and staff we shared joy with others this holiday season. Last week, VES Peer Partners loaded boxes of food, turkeys, pies, and presents for 43 children and clothing donations into multiple trucks and vehicles. They were bursting at the seams thanks to our wonderful VES and MTSD community. On Saturday, December 16th, Village School staff, their families and the Malhotra family traveled to the Young Scholars Institute in Trenton to deliver the food, gifts and clothes.

Our VES elves, led by our brilliant coordinator and 4th grade teacher, Ms. Hum and her team of VES colleagues, had a memorable morning with YSI Executive Director, Jerri Morrison, her staff and YSI families. Thanks to Mrs. Morrison and YSI Board member, Steve Smotrich, formerly of Montgomery, this partnership celebrates its 22nd year. The looks of wonder on the faces of the children and parents as they walked in to YSI and saw the many gifts, made us feel so proud of the kindness and caring of our VES students. Parents expressed that their children would never forget this holiday and would have memories of it forever. It was such a special day that Channel 6 Action News came to capture the moment, interviewing the students and staff about what this project means to them.

Thank you again for making this project a terrific success!

Hess Corporation and Baylor College of Medicine partnered in a STEM Educational Outreach program using Hess Toy Trucks as learning tools to enhance science, teaching, and learning. Dellin Betances helped our Math/Science Supervisor, Mrs. Glover and third grade teacher, Mrs. Cresap deliver one of these lessons to Mrs. Cresap's class! We began our day with our live VES News broadcast, where Mr. Betances was a guest. All of our VES students had a chance to greet him. After that, the third graders in Mrs. Cresap's class got to work. They experienced a lesson on force, which challenged students to build a bridge using various supplies that would support a Hess Truck and a loader truck. Mr. Betances gave some helpful hints along the way, then tested the students' engineering projects. He also spoke with the class about how math and science are used in baseball and signed autographs for students. Thank you, third grade parent, Mr. Mayer of Hess Toy Truck for making this visit possible.
