Thank you!
Thank you so much to all of our families, the PTSA, and our wonderful volunteers for making Staff Appreciation Week truly amazing. We felt incredibly pampered all week! The food was delicious, and the thoughtfulness shown each day was spectacular. We are so grateful for your kindness, generosity, and support—it truly means more to us than you know.
Field Day
Thank you to Coach Newsome and all of our volunteers who made 25-26 field day a success. Even though the weather wasn't as cooperative as we would have liked the events went on and we hope you all had fun!
Night Under the Stars
Thanks to Karen Lewis, Kristin Moulder and Larry Drawdy for all you did to make Night Under the Stars memorable for our students and parents. We hope all of you who attended enjoyed the art, music, and entrepreneurship.

From PTSA
DON'T MISS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO PURCHASE YEARBOOKS!
PTSA will be selling yearbooks at the school on Monday morning May 11 for $40 near the front office. We do not accept cash so you may bring a check (made payable to Vaughan Elementary PTSA) or Venmo the PTSA @vaughalemptsa. We will not be monitoring Venmo transactions so you must come in and show proof of payment. First come-first serve meaning once they are gone, we have no more.
PBIS for the SUMMER
We are excited to share our PBIS Year in Review and our “SOARing through Summer” family activity! These resources highlight the positive impact of our school-wide expectations—Safe, Only Show Kindness, Accountable, and Respectful (SOAR)—and celebrate the amazing accomplishments of our Rockets this year. Families can use the summer activity chart to continue meaningful conversations at home about positive behaviors and ways students can demonstrate SOAR expectations in everyday situations. Keeping these expectations visible and practicing them throughout the summer will help students continue building strong habits and start the new school year ready to SOAR! Look for the following pictures to come home soon with your student for a SOAR-ing SUMMER!
Student Celebrations

๐๐ฟ Lunch Rewards in action! ๐ฟ๐
Lunch Rewards is just one of the many ways our students SOAR at Vaughan! These rockstar students earned enough points to enjoy a special lunch with Dr. Sutton—complete with a movie and lots of smiles. Hard work, great choices, and positive attitudes really do pay off! ๐โจ
