A note from the Principal...
Hello!
We are in a wonderful part of the school year, and it is extra special right now as we welcome back a majority of the VPS students to a daily schedule. The children are so happy! It was sweet to see a child throw her hands up in the air and exclaim "I have not seen you for so long!" upon noticing a long-lost friend when she walked into the building on Monday! Another child looked at me with a big smile and shared "Wow...I've never seen this many people here before!" Seeing a pair of children hand-in-hand skipping from the dining room back to the classroom made my heart sing! There are many magical moments like this each day. What a gift to see it all play out in such a positive way for the children.
A great big 'thank you' to all the parents and guardians who simultaneously stepped up into the unique parent/teacher role as well as supporting the vast effort on our part to create a quality school experience despite the challenges. Your partnership in this quest has been appreciated and noticed.
Best wishes for however your family enjoys celebrating the arrival of spring!
Sincerely,
Danny

Science is All Around Us
As many gardens are starting to grow, let’s take a closer look at seeds!!! Try doing a seed study at home! The next time you are at the grocery store (or take a look in your refrigerator), pick up some fruits or vegetables that you think or know have seeds! Here’s a great list to help you get started:
Grapes (with seeds)
Peach or nectarine
Tomato
Orange or other citrus
Apple
& so many more!
With help from an adult, slice each one open and talk about what you notice. What does it look like inside? How are the seeds protected? Then, use a toothpick or pry out the seeds, carefully, with your fingers. Once you’ve separated the seeds from the rest of the fruit, have a chance to look at the seeds up close!! If you have a magnifying glass, this is a great time to take it out to get a better look. Think about and discuss the following questions:
How many seeds are there?
Which fruit held the most seeds?
What do the seeds look and feel like?
After you’ve had time to explore and look at the seeds of different foods, make sure to eat the food or find a way to put it into a special recipe! Enjoy exploring the seeds of foods to see where the plant life cycle begins!!!
