It's hard to believe it, but promotion ceremonies for our Kindergarten and 6th Grade students are quickly approaching! This year’s promotion ceremonies are scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, May 22nd. Kindergarten is at 9 am and 6th grade is at 11 am. We can’t wait to see everyone there!
Village Meadows 6th graders took a field trip to the wonderful Carr Canyon. After a short hike from the parking lot to the Carr House the students were greeted by volunteers from several local nonprofit organizations. Tables with different stations were set up and as the groups moved from station to station, they learned about geology, local history and animals, trail safety, local plants and foods, astrology, and how to sketch. There were rock samples, sun gazing telescopes, a scavenger hunt, and much more to touch, feel and see. One highlight was Sierra Vista City Councilman Mark Rodriguez sharing his wisdom about trail safety and the secret of nutrition on hikes in the form of an MRE (Meals Ready to Eat). Mr. Rodriguez let the astound 6th graders taste pancakes, cookies, and a chicken burrito bowl. This trip truly brought our local environment and nature closer to our students. Thank you to all volunteers and nonprofit organizations (Friends of the Huachuca Mountains, Sierra Vista Astronomy Club, Friends of the San Pedro, Water Wise, Jeff McLeod).
Due to lightning, Village Meadows will be in a 30 minute weather delayed release. Parents can come to the office to pick up your student during the delay.

VM hands on science. Wolfpack 6th graders followed the tradition and became experts on shark adaptations and anatomy. The students have been learning about earth biomes and took a deeper look at the oceans and their ecosystems. To highlight ocean life the 6th graders dissected dog fish sharks.
