Amazing VVE Educators

Today we celebrated many educators at VVE who make our school such an amazing place of learning.  Most Fridays, VVE holds school assemblies in which students receive awards from their teachers, outlining what is special about each learner.  On this special day, we take a few minutes to do the same for a few of our educators -- both VVE staff members and community members who contribute in meaningful ways to our learning environment.  This year, we celebrated 10 Eanespiration educators.  Educational Impact Awards went to Ann Manikham, Erin Finch, Nicki Kennington, & Jennifer Wolff.  Heroes Awards went to Brooke Anderson, Jacci Grossman, Lauren Cobb, Jennifer White, and Quen White-Ramos.  A Good Samaritan Award went to Dr. Genevieve Shepherd Ali.  Read more about all our Eanespiration winners HERE.  

VVE Educator of the Year Nominees include:  Pam Alden, Cindy Brown, Becky Canelos, Kena DiNardi, Tate Douglas, Erin Finch, and Morgan Menichini.  Teachers nominated colleagues and then the school voted and this year's VVE Educator of the Year who will represent our school at the district level in 2018-19 is Pam Alden.  See our "Director's Cut" video with information about each nominee, special messages from family and friends, and footage of the school-wide assembly below.  VVE celebrates you all and we are ever grateful for the meaningful contributions you make in the lives of students, families, and colleagues!
