Blue Rapids Elementary
It's all blue skies in Blue Rapids
It was a great week at Blue Rapids Elementary! A big shout out to Mrs. Popejoy, Miss. Coleman and the students for an outstanding music concert Tuesday night. The program was a Hawaiian theme and the students definitely heated things up that night. On behalf of the VHES music department, I want to thank everyone who attended and supported our fine arts program. Tuesday morning we received a special visit at Blue Rapids Elementary as the state bound girls basketball team stopped to get high fives and cheers from the elementary students. Go Lady Mustangs! Coach Hall and some of the baseball boys also paid a visit to the building on Friday the 7th of March. They shared information about the baseball clinic they are doing over spring break.

Positive Office Referrals
Value Honor Success
Each day in the elementary schools, we teach our students how to have purposeful interactions and goals. We believe that having a common purpose will promote the academic and social emotional well-being of each student. We teach students the VHS model.
To celebrate students accomplishing these things, we have created positive office referrals, with VHS tickets. Teachers and staff hand out VHS tickets when they see a student doing the right thing.
Working hard!
Beckett, Orion, Addyson, and Caleb received recognition from Mrs. Williams for working hard in the classroom. Way to go!
Being Courteous!
Mrs. Wetter recognized Ashley after she held the door for all the classmates after their morning meeting. Awesome job Ashley!
Awesome job!
