Have a safe and Happy 4th of July, #VanguardPride community!
We have been doing these monthly updates since May 2021, which makes this edition our 14th. That, in itself, is hard to believe, but what is even more amazing is all the work that has been accomplished during that timeframe. 😯
So much is getting done inside the elementary wing....the gym floor is getting finished, classrooms are all painted, and cabinetry is being installed.
The HS renovations continue this summer. The flooring in some of the halls and cafeteria are being replaced and we're making it through the four seasons of optimization with the HVAC systems.
That's just the inside!
With the school year ending at the beginning of this month, work has started outside with the elementary entrance and some of the parking lot work starting.
The #VanguardPride excitement continues! 💚💚💚
Students made some wonderful bead crafts 📿 while listening to amazing stories 📚 during #VanguardPride Beads & Books!
Summer Science Camp was a blast last week. Fun was had by all!
Enjoy the video recap from the UW: https://mediaspace.wisc.edu/media/Summer+Science+Camp+2022/1_gj69onhs
🧙Students were sorted into their Hogwarts Houses, 🔍searched for Scabbers/Peter Pettigrew, made potions, decoded secret messages, 🎇searched for Horcruxes, and made quills all in their first week of #VanguardPride Heights @ Hogwarts✨!
Work continues this summer on new flooring in the #VanguardPride high school.
Wisconsin Heights School District took the lead in applying for a Department of Workforce Innovation Grant to create a grow your own teacher program in our school district. We are collaborating with the Cambridge, Lodi, and Sauk Prairie School Districts on this exciting effort to support local students as they prepare to become the next generation of wonderful educators. Our four-district consortium of school districts was awarded a grant of $264,000 to support our GROW collaborative.

Chaperones Sr. Hruby and Ms. Kanwar took 6 students on this year's Spanish trip. They visited Galveston, Texas where highlights were a Segway tour visiting historical locations throughout Galveston and watching the sunrise on the beach. Next was San Antonio where they visited some of the Spanish missions (San Juan, Concepcion, Espada) as well as the Alamo. There was also record heat while they were in Texas which made their 20 mile bike ride in San Antonio challenging. The last part of their trip they spent in Sedona, Arizona. A hike at Red Rock State Park was a favorite of the travelers and they were able to visit the Grand Canyon as well. ¡Fue un buen viaje
Congratulations to #VanguardPride staff members, Kelly Kroon and Josie Geishirt!🥳
Both Josie and Kelly achieved National Board Certification, which is a voluntary process. As part of the process, Josie and Kelly had to demonstrate that they were accomplished teachers through videotaping themselves teaching, showing they know how to take each child's strengths and needs into account, and how to design appropriate assessments. They also took a test to show their knowledge of literacy.
There are about 1600 National Board Certified Teachers in Wisconsin.

We have a 🆕look! Check it out! The Wisconsin Heights website is changing. Over the summer of 2022, we are "soft launching" for everyone to get familiar with the new look and feel, including us☺️! Then, as of September 1, 2022, we will be "live". All the content from the previous website is here and we're hoping it's easier to find and more user-friendly.
