On Tuesday of last week, Vaughan held its end-of-the year reading celebration called “Rev Up Your Reading!” Rally. Students that met their year-long reading goals were invited to attend this fun-filled event. We are so proud that 133 of our students met their goals and participated. Local racing celebrity, Buddy Isles, Jr. was gracious enough to bring his racecar out for our students to see. Buddy Jr. talked with students about how he disliked reading as an elementary student, but now uses his reading skills everyday in his endeavors to be a champion racer. He shared the many ways that he uses academic skills like reading, writing and mathematics that students may not have thought racecar drivers would use. High readers from each classroom were rewarded with specially designed “Rev Up Your Reading!” T-shirts. Students were selected by tickets to “race” Buddy, Jr. on remote control cars. Students then selected prizes including T-shirts, posters, cars, paddle balls and keychains. Each group then went outside to view the racecar and hear the thunderous sound of the car's ignition. Some students were even allowed to get inside the racecar. It truly was an exciting time for all involved. We would like to extend a very special thank-you to Buddy Isles, Jr. for coming out to encourage our students in this way. Thanks is also extended to David Hight who came out with Buddy Jr. and assisted in so many ways with this event. We feel that this event definitely motivated students in their efforts to reach our school-wide Accelerated Reader goal of 7,500 points. Students not only met this goal, but actually accumulated 7, 737 points! Way to go, Eagles!
On Thursday of last week, Vaughan Elementary held it's Pre-Kindergarten Celebration. It was so exciting to see our “baby eagles” dressed in tiny caps and gowns celebrating the successes of this past year and getting ready to move on up to the challenges that lie ahead of them in Kindergarten. Congratulations to each of you! We look forward to seeing how you will grow as you progress in your academic careers at our school.
We have only about one week left in school and what a busy time it is. This morning, June 2, Kindergarten students will have their Celebration and Awards Day at 10 am. This afternoon at 1:30 pm, Grades 1-4 will have their Awards Day Program. Next Tuesday morning, June 8, our Fifth Grades will have their Celebration and Awards Day. Parents, we invite you to come out and join with us as we celebrate the accomplishments of our students at these special events.
Next Thursday evening, June 3, at 6:30 pm, Vaughan will host its Scholars Reception in the multi-purpose room. Students and parents who are invited to attend this event will receive invitations. On Monday, June 7, students that have been recognized for Light of Character, attained perfect attendance, or honors for grade K-2 will attend a special celebration at 1:30 pm in the multi-purpose room. We are so proud of all of our students who have worked so hard in so many ways this school-year. Just as a reminder to parents, our last day of school is Thursday, June 10. This day is an early release day and students will be dismissed at 1 pm. Please make arrangements for your children accordingly.

We had a wonderful time at our annual Field Day on Friday, May 7. All students participated in at least one event. Our Wellness Committee distributed water bottles to all students to encourage them to stay hydrated and healthy. Mrs. Donna West did an outstanding job of organizing our field day and we commend her for doing such a fine job. A special thanks is extended to the many parents and other volunteers who assisted in so many ways with our Field Day. In addition, thanks is extended to parents who assissted the Wellness Committee in filling and distributing the water bottles. We could not do all of the things we do here at Vaughan without out your help!
This week marks the start of End-of-Grade Tests. Fifth grade students will take their Science EOG test on Thursday morning. Parents, it is imperitive that students get a good night's rest before the test and arrive at school on time on Thursday morning. Friday afternoon, Vaughan will hold an EOG Pep Rally to encourage our students to “Rock the Test!” We are looking forward to this time to get “pepped up.”
Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Watson's Pre-K students will have their annual May Day and parent luncheon on Friday. We look forward to seeing the parents of our “baby eagles” on this day!
Next week, third, fourth and fifth grades students will take their Reading and Math End-of-Grade Tests. As with the Science EOG Test, it is crucial that students attend each day and are on time for each day of the tests. It is also important that students get a good night's rest the night before the test. Students will need to get a good breakfast so they can be focused on their test, not hunger. We would like to encourage parents to keep up as much of a routine during these three days as possible, so that students are not distracted with other issues. We want the best for your children, just like you do. Thank you for your help in making your children as successful as possible during this stressful time for them.

Thank you very much to all of the families and community members that recently supported our school in our Candy Man fundraising event. We had an astounding amount of participation from students and we are so proud of them for their hard work. Over half of our students sold products during the fundraiser. Over one-fourth of the whole school population sold at least 30 items. This enabled them to get to ride in a Hummer Limousine to Burger King as a reward for their salesmanship. Again, we want to thank all of you who purchased products from students and supported our school in this way. We could not do all of the things we do at Vaughan School without your support.

We can hardly believe it's almost April. As usual, things are rolling along smoothly, but busily, here at Vaughan. On Wednesday night, March 17, our School-wide Spelling Bee winners competed in the County-Wide Spelling Bee. We are so proud of all of our students who competed. Zianne Richardson, a third grader in Mrs. Elkin's class brought home second place honors and Dale Jomo in Mrs. Evans' fifth grade class took first place. Way to go, Eagles!

Please look out for a flyer with the scheduling information to come home some time in April.
Students completed the Spring Fundraiser with The Candy Man at the beginning of March. Thank you to all family, friends and community members for supporting our school and students by ordering products. A special thank you is extended to Kim Rodwell and other PTA members for handling the counting of money and tabulation of order forms. You are appreciated more than you know. The Candy Man returned to our school on Monday, March 29 for “The Main Event.” This is the reward event for students that sold varying levels of product. Students enjoyed all sorts of games, won special prizes and enjoyed the giant slide, the super bounce and the mega obstacle course.
