Greetings Vaughan Families, This is Mrs. McMannen with your weekly updates: As we approach the end of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your unwavering support, partnership, and encouragement throughout this year. Your involvement has made a tremendous impact on our students’ growth and success, and we are truly grateful. A reminder that Tuesday, June 10th, is the last day of school, and it is also an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 12:30 PM. We will be having our schoolwide celebration for students tomorrow, June 9th. This is an event for students to have a little fun before summer break! We will have a water station where students who choose to participate will get wet! Please send the following items with your student on June 9th: 1. An extra change of clothes, including undergarments 2. An extra pair of shoes. Please make sure your child has a pair of shoes that you do not mind getting wet and a pair that they can change into afterwards. 3. A towel 4. Sunscreen 5. A plastic bag to put wet clothes in We are proud of all that our students have accomplished and look forward to continuing this journey together in the upcoming school year. Have a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer! Remember, together we can change the world!

This is a friendly reminder about our Community Engagement Meeting tomorrow night (Thursday, May 29) to discuss the new consolidated elementary school. The meeting will be from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Warren County Schools Auxiliary Building. That’s the former Warren New Tech High School and the future site of the new elementary school. We hope to see you there tomorrow night!

This is a post from Brooke Comer Callahan, our Guidance Counselor at Vaughan Elementary. We are still looking for presenters for Career Day on April 4. We would love to have the following careers represented and don't currently have volunteers in these fields. *Hair dresser/cosmetologist *Farmer - (would really like someone to bring a tractor or a piece of farm equipment or bring some animals- goats or lambs or chickens or a horse) *Military- can be active duty or reserves *Veterinarian or dog trainer *Landscaper- (would love you to bring lg lawn mower) *Catering *Dentist/dental hygienist *Realtor *Carpenter/construction/contractor *HVAC *Welder *Automotive repair/mechanic *Photographer *County government or DSS rep *Truck driver that can bring your big ol' truck *Hauling/Dump truck/septic that can bring your truck or equipment *Physical therapist/or Trainer Any others would also be greatly appreciated! The idea is to tell the students what you do on a given day at work. You should also explain necessary skills and education for your job and the benefits of having that particular job. For example, you might have a job that uses a great deal of math or one where you need to be able to communicate and get along with lots of people, or where you need to write well, or that your job means a lot of work outside even when the weather is not great. We have a rotating schedule where you present to a class for about 20 minutes then have five minutes to rotate groups. Presenters with large equipment like fire trucks, etc. will be stationary and groups will rotate to you. Other presenters will have student ambassadors to assist them in moving from class to class. We can't pay you, but we will be eternally indebted to you. Each presenter has a break time to enjoy refreshments and we try to have the best refreshments since we can't pay you. PLEASE! I'm begging you! You can reach out to me, Trina Paynter, and I'll pass your information to Mrs. Callahan, or you can call the school directly at 252-257-6802 and ask for Mrs. Callahan and tell her I was hounding you online. THANKS!!!

Just a reminder about ordering a yearbook. The deadline is approaching quickly!
