One of our students, Miles, wrote a book with his mom's help, sharing his story in order to help others understand Cerebral Palsy and the powers of inclusion and kindness. We are so proud of his courage as he shared it with his class today. @1BetsyBall @SVVSDBissonette @SVVSDsupt

Every first day brings challenges, courage, and new beginnings.

We are so grateful for the brave men and women who have served our country. This morning, our students proudly said the pledge of allegiance led by our very own SRO who is a veteran, and our fifth grade choir beautifully sang the national anthem.@SVVSDBissonette

Utilizing the Design Thinking Process to build and test air compressor rockets. The nose cones were 3D printed and the fuselage and fins were crafted from paper and tape. Lots of great designs today at Project Launch!
