Thank you!
School Board Appreciation Week is March 8 - 14, 2026
Vaughan ES extends a heartfelt thank‑you to our Board Member, Brad Wheeler, for his continued support and representation of our school!
Mr. Wheeler visited Vaughan on March 5 to read to one of our kindergarten classes in celebration of Read Across America. The book he read is donated to the school library. He also served as a judge for this year's Science Fair, offering his time and encouragement to our young scientists.
We truly appreciate his involvement and dedication to our students and school community. Thank you, Mr. Wheeler!
Thank You to ALL who Participated in READ Across America!

Strong4Life Healthy Habit Focus
This month, our Strong4Life Healthy Habit focus is Eat Smarter! Making small, healthy choices each day—like choosing water over sugary drinks, adding fruits and vegetables to meals, and picking balanced snacks—can give our students more energy to learn, play, and grow. Let’s work together to build healthy habits that last a lifetime!
