Thank you to the VSP Vision Eyes of Hope Mobile Eye Care Clinic for volunteering their time and services in our district over the past two days.

Through their efforts, 67 individuals – including students, family members, and community members – received eye screenings, with 47 prescriptions for glasses provided. This generous support helps ensure our students and families have access to the resources they need to thrive.

Clear vision = brighter futures. We’re so grateful for this partnership!

Our Virtual Academy Students had a blast learning time management skills, the importance of good sleep practices and a few helpful Brain Breaks to reset on a long day. Students were able to practice some of these skills by organizing the busy day of a veterinarian, assessing priorities and scheduling them into the allotted time.

Start Your Day with Joy — Music Makes a Difference! 🎶
