Portrait of a Graduate Update!
Hello everyone,
I am thrilled to share an update on our ANSWD Portrait of a Graduate! After more than a year of thoughtful work gathering input from students, staff, and community members, VUMS and VUHS students joined Emily Rossier and me to present the updated Portrait to the school board.
This Portrait reflects a bold, shared vision for the future of our schools– one that emphasizes engaging learning experiences, a strong sense of belonging, and preparation for life beyond graduation. Now our next chapter begins as we will collaborate to bring this vision to life in the day-to-day experiences of our students.
Thank you for being part of this important work.
Gabe Hamilton, Director of Learning

On Wednesday, FCS was transformed into a vibrant tapestry of global culture as students celebrated Cultures Day!
This year’s journey took us across Tanzania, the Philippines, Egypt, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Brazil—no passport required (well... except the fun ones we got stamped at each stop!).
Each student traveled from country to country, collecting stamps while exploring the unique customs, foods, games, and traditions of each culture. Students played traditional games, tasted authentic dishes, created cultural arts and crafts, sang, danced, and experienced native music, and listened to traditional folktales read by older students.
