Our Spanish trip travelers returned from 10 days visiting Ireland, Spain, and Portugal. Highlights of the trip include the high speed train rides (traveling at speeds up to 186 mph), the beautiful bridge in Porto, the Cies Islands where it started out pouring rain but ended with beautiful sunny skies, the Peneda-Geres National Park day in Portugal including off-roading and a hike to a waterfall and lagoon, and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Fue un gran viaje! #VanguardPride

A few 7th grade students did a special end of year math project to leave their mark on the 7th grade classroom. These four students painted tessellations on ceiling tiles to hang in the classroom. They painted Sponge Bob, Dory, fall leaves, and a cyclops. This project took several weeks and took a lot of team effort to finish in time before the last day of school. Special thanks to Ms. Goebel for letting the students use the art room every day and to the maintenance crew for hanging them! Mrs. Meinholz is so grateful and proud to hang these in her math classroom forever! #VanguardPride

The annual #VanguardPride 4K Car Show took place on Wednesday, June 5th at Wisconsin Heights Elementary!💚💚💚 Spectators 👀 watched from the track as the 4K classes "drove" their one-of-a-kind cars for all to see! Great job everyone!

7th grade math ended the year with a team challenge called Mint Mobile. Using 4 mint lifesavers, 1 straw, 10 index cards, scissors, and a foot of tape, they had to design and build a car that could travel the furthest on one push! Teams had 20 minutes to build and then we tested the cars! A Ford F-250 and a car called Wisconsin Cheese went the furthest! #VanguardPride
