On the Horizon

Dear Commodore Community,

What a wonderful graduation! The Class of 2024 had an incredible week filled with celebration, connection, and thoughtfulness. The Senior Awards recognized many achievements in our students academics, athletics, and various other areas of expertise. When I said at Graduation, "I want to remind you to let your passions, perseverance, tenacity, and inclusiveness continue you into your future of alliance, leadership, and influence," I truly meant it. You already have these traits just remember to use them. I look forward to hearing about all the amazing things you will accomplish. Even when times get tough, I know you have the strength to persevere and will rely on those around you for support.

This week marks the last week of school for the 2023-2024 school year. I am so proud of the growth of all of our students. You have shown me your ability to speak up, to be kind, and to learn from each other.

On Monday, we will have an underclass award ceremony in the Auditorium at 11:30 AM. The rest of the week will involve end-of-year projects, exams, and presentations. On Wednesday, June 12th, the Class of 2027 will be on a field trip.

Some events that are coming up in the next few weeks are:

• June 10th: Underclass Awards @ 11:30am
  
• June 12th: Class of 2027 Field Trip
• June 14th: 1/2 Day - Last Day of School

Thank you for all your support!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

With shifts of my full time position along with personal goals of continuing my education and achieving my Master's degree I have made the decision to let go of my position as Site Coordinator for the VUMHS Afterschool Program. I have loved getting to know the students and families in a whole different way and I will truly miss it!

I will still be around this summer supporting students in BOTH sites (elementary and middle/high) as the Behavioral Manager.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I hope you all have had a great year and I hope you have a fun summer!

PCAVT is starting a Circle of Parents Group called Family Fun Circle. The idea came after several discussions with folks about the challenges of summer for parents. Working parents must find childcare and parents who aren’t working are with their kids more than during the school year. This Circle would focus on support for parents of children in preschool through 5th grade. It will be a space to share ideas and frustrations such as, “my child is making me crazy”, “how do I limit technology?”, “how can I develop a summer routine?”. In addition, participants will exchange suggestions for activities and outings that are free or inexpensive!

It will be on Tuesday evenings at 7 pm, beginning June 11.
