This Week's Cougar Cubs Highlights

Hello VES Families,

We’ve had a great closing week of the Month of the Military Child at Vicenza Elementary School! I want to give a special shout out to our wonderful counseling team, PTSA, and volunteers for orchestrating such a wonderful month full of events from the first to the last day of April! I would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our students, teachers, and PTSA for the incredible effort put into the Purple Up! Door Decorating Contest. Walking through our halls and seeing so many awesome decorated doors filled with purple, pride, and creativity was truly inspiring. Each display honored the strength and resilience of our military connected students. Well done to all who participated, and congratulations to our winning classes!

As we look ahead, I would like to share an important reminder that Summative Testing for students in grades 3–5 will take place next week, May 4–8. Testing will occur in the mornings, with make-ups scheduled in the afternoons as needed. Our staff has worked carefully to create a supportive and calm testing environment, including schedule adjustments and small-group settings where appropriate. Thanks to a partnership between the PTSA and commissary, we will have some snack support to keep students' minds sharp. 

We ask for your support in helping students be successful by ensuring they arrive at school on time, are well rested, and have eaten breakfast each morning.

This also coincides with Teacher Appreciation Week, a wonderful time to celebrate the outstanding teachers and educational aides who support, challenge, and inspire our students each day.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Warmly,

Mr. Caballero
