Are you ready for the season of giving? The MS Student Council is sponsoring a Giving Tree for Jane's Journey Home for Dogs, an organization that takes care of senior dogs. From December 9th to December 20th, there will be a giving tree in the main lobby of the MS. Students simply pick up an ornament from the tree, buy the item listed on the ornament, and put it under the tree before school. The "Wish List" is attached for ideas, too.💚 When a student donates a gift, they get a chance to choose a teacher to be "pied in the face" at the December assembly. The more donations, the more teachers will be "pied". Thank you for your support! #VanguardPride

Mrs. Schmitt's 7th-grade students put on their urban planner hats this week! Using a student-designed city layout from a previous lesson, they tackled a population growth challenge through roleplay. Students took on roles as urban planners, environmentalists, business owners, and residents, collaborating to find the best solutions for their town's needs. Each group crafted a proposal and presented their ideas, culminating in a town vote to decide the future of their community. This hands-on experience showcased creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. Way to go, future city planners! #VanguardPride
