As we wrapped up the school year at Vilas School District, our day was filled with leadership, connection, creativity, and celebration.
Our NHS and JH and HS leaders began the morning by reading one-on-one with elementary students and gifting them personalized books to take home.
Students then worked together on a STEM marble run challenge, using teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity to design and build their projects.
We ended the day by celebrating the accomplishments of our students through our End of Year Awards Ceremony, National Honor Society inductions, and 8th Grade Continuation.
As we close another school year, we are proud of the growth, leadership, grit, and accomplishments of our students. Thank you to our staff, families, and community for supporting our students every step of the way. We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful summer!
