❤️🖤 Sunday Tribal Talk ❤️🖤

🍩❤️ Donuts with Grown-Ups was a beautiful reminder that we are truly #ConnectedByCommunity—and what a special community it is! Our Moonshot Coordinator Mrs. Connelly had the opportunity to spend the morning with one of her former third-grade students, who is now the proud mom of a Little Indian! Seeing these relationships come full circle is part of what makes #MyVBE so special. A huge shout-out to our amazing PTA and café staff for all their hard work in creating such a memorable morning for our students and families! ❤️🖤 #ConnectedByCommunity #MoonshotSchool #VBEVIBE

🌿 We are bringing learning to life through the Audubon Advocates afterschool program for 5th graders with Ms. Cari Berwick! Today, students explored nature using their five senses and captured their observations through journal writing. This hands-on experience is just one of the many extended learning opportunities available to help our #MyVBE Little Indians discover, explore, and grow beyond the classroom! ❤️🖤 #AudubonAdvocates #vbevibe

🎉Attendance Spirit Week Is Here! 🎉 Let's celebrate the importance of BEING HERE, EVERY DAY! Join us for a week of fun, FREE dress down days as we show our school spirit and remind students that every school day counts! ❤️🖤 #AttendanceMatters #BeHere #AttendanceSpiritWeek #MyVBE

🏅 Reading, Talking, and Playing Our Way to Proficiency in Kindergarten! 🏅 Our kindergarten students celebrated finishing their first reading unit with the Nursery Rhyme Olympics! They jumped, climbed, and matched just like the characters they’ve been reading about. What a fun way to bring learning to life and celebrate all they’ve accomplished! 📚🌟

The magic is just beginning at VBE! 📣🎭💫 Our after-school adventures began today with Moonshot Academy, Cheer, and Drama Club! We loved seeing our students learning, creating, and shining beyond the school day. Next week, Dream Chasers joins the fun!

🧮✨ Building Thinkers & Problem-Solvers at VBE! ✨🧮

From our kindergarteners building strong foundations with number identification to our older students tackling subtraction with decimals, math learning is happening through conversation, collaboration, and problem-solving! ❤️🖤

Our #MyVBE students aren’t just learning how to get the right answer—they’re learning to share their thinking, listen to others, explain their reasoning, and work together to solve problems.

These are the skills that help our Little Indians Reach. Rise. Realize. 🌟

❤️🖤 Sunday Evening Edition of Tribal Talk ❤️🖤

What a special first Pride of the Tribe ceremony! ❤️🖤 One of the sweetest moments was seeing so many siblings—both current and former Little Indians—celebrating together. The lasting relationships and connections we share with our families make these moments even more meaningful. We are so proud of our students and can’t wait to watch them continue to Reach. Rise. Realize. 🌟 #PrideOfTheTribe #VBEvibe #MyVBE #LittleIndiansAimHigh

⛈️We are currently delaying dismissal due to storms in the area. Once it is safe we will begin dismissing students. 🚫 Due to inclement weather - we are cancelling our PTA Playground Play date. Please stay tuned for our rescheduled date.

Our kindergarten team participated in our first Moonshot Mirrors learning experience for the 26-27 school year! 🌙🚀 Ms. Lindgren welcomed her teammates into her classroom as she modeled both our VIBE time morning meeting and UFLI foundational-skills instruction. Through observation, reflection, and collaboration, our teachers had the opportunity to learn from one another and strengthen their instructional practices. This is what makes being a Moonshot School so special: we invest in our teachers so they can continue investing in our students! ❤️🖤 #MoonshotSchool #VBEVIBE #MyVBE #ReachRiseRealize #BetterTogether
