Since Saturday is Tater Town Day in Hoople, we celebrated with lots of potato fun at Hoople Elementary today! Kids did potato art with Mrs. Nilson, play potato themed games outside with Mrs. Hall and sang potato songs in music with Mr. Black! You can check out our student's art work on display at the Fire Hall this weekend!

We had a "spud-tastic" afternoon!

Our Crystal Intermediate Student Council met today and completed Module 1 of the Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Jr. program and worked on our upcoming October dress up days and fundraiser!

Today's lesson focused on the principles of leadership and what it means to be a positive, responsible, and effective leader. Students explored the importance of leading by example, showing respect, making good decisions, and using their voices to make a difference.

👟 One of the highlights of our meeting was discovering what type of shoe best represents our individual leadership styles! Students learned that just like shoes, leaders come in all different styles, each bringing unique strengths and qualities to a team. We had fun learning more about ourselves and recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership!

We are excited to watch these young Titans grow in their leadership skills as they continue through the program and discover how they can positively impact our school and community!🖤🤍

Our students participate in U-Time lessons as part of BARR—Building Assets, Reducing Risks. These lessons give students and teachers time to connect, discover one another’s strengths, and build a supportive classroom community. Here are our 5th graders engaging in Circle Time!

Research on the broader BARR model that we implement at VE Schools from Preschool through 6th grade has shown improvements in student achievement and reductions in course failures. U-Time supports this approach by making relationship-building an intentional part of our school week. We want every Titan to feel known, valued, and supported!
