While we may not all be together on the same campus anymore, we want to do our best to highlight the unique ways our students are continuing to learn during this time.
Parents are invited to tag any photos or videos of continued learning on social media with #VCLearns, or email them to Ms. Chantal Coschizza so our community can enjoy them. Each week, we will encourage students to participate in a "Viral Challenge" to show we can still be together, even though we may be physically apart at the moment.
