Spectacular event, and smart planning by school counselor Hillary Eup to provide a career day for students! #teamvigo
Rio Grande, under the direction of school counselor Hillary Eup, adapted its Career Day to make sure students are college and career ready. 5th graders at Rio Grande researched careers and presented their work to fellow students outside on the “Bobcat Walk.” #teamvigo

Another great night with about 70 Vigo County residents! If you've missed the first two, you have 6 more chances in this round of community meetings. Join us tonight at DeVaney or tomorrow night at Rio Grande! #teamvigo
A pretty good crowd for the second community meeting for the Vigo County School Corporation. They’re discussing the future of the high schools. I’ll have much more tonight on @WTHITV

Energy was high and all of the kids had a great time either welcoming new friends or exploring their new school. Kudos to the Ouabache staff! #teamvigo
Ouabache Elementary welcomed Deming students who will transition to Ouabache next year for a fun field trip today. The Cat in the Hat led them through a school parade, and student leaders and teachers helped them navigate the building via a fun scavenger hunt. #teamvigo

If your high school student left Vigo County Schools for the 2020-21 school year and they'd like to come back for the 2021-22 school year, help is available to make sure they get the classes they need! Re-enroll: web.vigoschools.org/new-fami… #teamvigo

City school, schmity school. The excitement around our new ag programming at North, South, and West Vigo High Schools is palpable! You don't have to be a "farm kid" to learn about applications in engineering, graphic design, and computer science! #teamvigo
The new agriculture programs at Vigo County's high schools are alive and well, and FFA students at Terre Haute South Vigo High School celebrated today with a "Drive Your Tractor to School" day. We have over 40 career pathways--the most in the Wabash Valley. #teamvigo

Also, if you've never seen a giant tractor roll down 7th street in Terre Haute, it is an EXPERIENCE!

Vigo County is back in blue! (For our score. Still a yellow advisory rating until we can be blue for two straight weeks.)

544 people were served at the end of the distribution today. Fantastic work, @SSScotties!
Sarah Scott Middle School partnered with Catholic Charities this morning to provide food boxes to community members facing food insecurity. With nearly 100 families served today, they’ll continue the program on the second Monday of the month. #teamvigo

Our food services staff--like every single employee group in VCSC--has provided creative solutions to everything the last calendar year has thrown our way. Incredible work by #teamvigo to move beyond "what we've always done" and do the most for kids.
Middle and high school students can pick up grab-and-go meal kits from any VCSC middle or high school from 11 a.m. to noon on remote learning Mondays. They're free and include a breakfast and lunch. #teamvigo

Mrs. Clark is an amazing positive role model. She knows that many students who are having difficulty in school need a trusted adult to listen. She patiently guides students to make good choices and helps solve the root causes of behavior issues. #teamvigo
Today's #staffurday highlight is Mrs. Ruth Clark, a behavior interventionist at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School. web.vigoschools.org/blog/202… #teamvigo
