🦺🍉 HANDS-ON LEARNING AT VAN HIGH SCHOOL! 🍉🦺
What do PPE, teamwork, rubber bands, and a watermelon have in common? In Mrs. Caffey’s class, they made for one memorable lesson! 😂
Students used the popular watermelon-and-rubber-band experiment as an opportunity to practice properly putting on their PPE, working together as a team, and completing a project from start to finish.
The goal? Work together to wrap an extraordinary number of rubber bands around a watermelon until... BOOM! 🍉💥
Well... the watermelon needed a little extra “trauma” before it finally gave in. 😂 But the end result was just as sweet!
✅ We suited up.
✅ We worked together.
✅ We practiced important skills.
✅ And we even enjoyed a few bites of watermelon when it was all over! 🍉
Learning doesn't always have to happen from a textbook. Sometimes it looks like safety gear, teamwork, problem-solving, fresh air, a whole lot of rubber bands — and a watermelon that refuses to cooperate! ❤️
Hands-on learning is happening at Van High School, and our students are engaged in the process!

🎙️📺 LIVE FROM VAN HIGH SCHOOL! 🎬
Our CTE Principles of Arts students took their learning from the classroom to the “studio” today!
After studying the history and evolution of talk shows in the television industry, students put what they learned into action by creating and performing their own live talk shows. They also learned the behind-the-scenes side of production, including how to film their shows so they can be shared with other classes. 🎥
From being on camera to working behind it, our students are gaining hands-on experience while exploring the many skills and careers that make the television and media industry possible.
We love seeing our Vandals learning, creating and doing! ❤️🎬
Big Opportunities. Small-Town Relationships. Ready for What Comes Next.

🏃♂️🏃♀️ FIRST MEET DOWN! ❤️
A great start to the season for Vandal Cross Country at Mineola last week!
The first meet always comes with a few nerves, but now we’ve got that one behind us. We are incredibly proud of the effort, determination, and fight our athletes showed on the course!
More importantly, we got our first look at some of our district competition. Now we know where we stand, we know what we need to work on, and it’s time to TRAIN HARD & RUN THEM DOWN! 💪🔥
One meet down. Plenty of work ahead. Let’s keep getting better!

🎨❤️ GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
Our students are creating. They’re thinking. They’re expressing themselves. They’re engaged in ART!
Four of our talented Studio Art seniors recently created these incredible mixed-media collages, each designed as a self-portrait. Through layers of different materials, textures, images and techniques, each student created a piece that tells a little bit of their own story.
This is what learning can look like—creative, personal, hands-on and meaningful.
We love seeing our Vandals discover their talents, find their voices and create something that is uniquely their own. 🎨
