Today's #SeniorSpotlight is on #VanguardPride senior, Noah Statz! Plans after graduation? I'm hoping to learn more about the electrical code and start my own electrician company. Activities during high school? I've helped out with a few book fairs and small fundraisers. Dream job? Retired/travel photographer Favorite memory? I can't pick one favorite memory, but all of Mr. Marx's field trips are legendary and those memories will stick with me forever. What are you most proud of? I'm the most proud of how much I have grown as a person and all the great times I've had with my teachers and fellow students. Congratulations, Noah!

Mrs. Schmitt’s 7th grade students recently put their creativity to the test by writing their own children’s books, each inspired by lessons from the Asian folktales they’ve been studying. These young authors didn’t stop there—they shared their stories with a very special audience: Mrs. Fuchs’s 1st grade class! We’re so proud of our 7th graders for bringing meaningful messages to life and sharing them with our littlest learners! #VanguardPride

A geologist came in to talk to the second grade on Monday (4/14)! These second graders learned about different types of geologists, saw some cool equipment, and saw lots of samples of rocks/fossils. The kiddos loved asking Ms. Kamy questions and it was so cool to see them recognize things they learned in class! Learning is fun! #VanguardPride
