Congratulations VBMS October Noble Knights!!! Jordan Rinker - 6th Grade Team Jordan repeatedly goes above and beyond in her classes, often stretching herself beyond the required work, which was noticed even by a substitute staff member. Seth Gregory - 7th Grade Team Seth shares his knowledge with others in class while showing a great work ethic.  He excels at demonstrating kindness to others, even when no one's watching. Walter Oestreich - 8th Grade Team Walter comes to class each day excited with a positive attitude and ready to learn.  He works to help others success and is a terrific role model for his peers.

8th graders are researching for an expository essay including how the going to the beach benefits your body and mental health. #VB1Team #VBexperience #seizethedayVBMS

6th grade families: It's not too early to think about vaccinations required for seventh grade! Next year’s 7th grade (age 11 or older) students need the following immunizations: 1 dose of Tdap and 1 dose of Meningococcal Vaccine. Contact Hancock Public Health or your physician
