Dear Voyager Families,
Wow, spring is truly an incredible time of the year, isn't it? As the weather warms up and nature bursts into bloom, our school is filled with energy and excitement. I wanted to take a moment to share some highlights and upcoming events with you.
During a recent staff meeting, our team had the pleasure of reflecting on the incredible progress and success stories of our students. The growth we've witnessed this year is truly remarkable, and it fills us with pride and gratitude. Starting our day with these uplifting stories was a wonderful way to reaffirm our commitment to our students as we gear up for the busiest time of the year.
At Voyager, one of our key priorities is to provide authentic learning experiences for our students. As we enter this vibrant season, we're looking forward to offering new opportunities for hands-on learning through various field trips. Each grade level has an exciting excursion planned for May, and we can't wait to see our students engage with their learning in new and meaningful ways.
May will also be filled with activity as we also focus on strengthening our school community and celebrating our successes together. We're thrilled to announce our First Annual Voyager VBC Fun Run, where students and families can come together for a day of fitness, fun, and fundraising. Additionally, we'll be hosting Field Day, classroom celebrations, and our much-anticipated 5th grade Completion Ceremony. There's so much to look forward to, and we can't wait to share these special moments with all of you.
Here's to a spring season filled with growth, joy, and unforgettable memories!
Warm regards,
Danielle Schmidt

Counselor's Corner
Each summer, the elementary counselors share a comprehensive list of summer opportunities and activities for families! If you know of any low-cost or free resources, programs, or activities that could be helpful for Howell families, please share that information with your school counselor! We are looking for ideas in the areas of reading and learning, parenting, food, general assistance, and just for fun!
