Class of 2024 Graduation

On the evening of June 6th, nineteen hard-working students graduated as Vanguard's class of 2024. It was a beautiful evening full of laughs, smiles and tears of joy.  We're proud of the newest members of Vanguard's alumni group and wish them well as they embark on the next chapters of their lives.

Elementary School Quest Day

As part of the ABC Countdown to Summer, students and staff celebrated Q Day on May 29th. Kendra Baugus (ES Classroom Assistant), Jennifer Kieffer (Physical Therapist), and Chelsea Swinney (Health and PE Teacher) planned a Quest/scavenger hunt to celebrate! Each classroom was assigned an envelope number and a class time to meet in the gym and then go out on their hunt. Once they found their pieces, students received a prize.
