We rocked our socks yesterday to honor World Down Syndrome Day at VE Schools!
The 21st day of March was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which causes Down Syndrome. Every year on March 21, World Down Syndrome Day is observed to create awareness about Down Syndrome.











It has been QUITE the exciting month of reading at Hoople and Crystal Elementary!!
Our gold coins have been counted in both buildings and we are SO proud of all the amazing reading minutes our students completed at home. In total, our PK-6th grade students read 21,150 minutes!
Our two buildings competed against each other to see who could read the most minutes and the winner of our Reading Challenge is our CRYSTAL Students! They read a total of 10,069 minutes and defeated Hoople students who came in at 10,046 minutes!
