Emergent Bilingual teacher Manuel Perez put a video together featuring our VES EB students and an activity students did at the beginning of the year. During the "All About Me" activity, students shared what being bilingual means to them personally. On the video the students talk about their goals, the struggles they face, and ways teacher can support their growth in the classroom. Mr. Perez said the video captures the students' voices, honesty, and courage as they express their journeys in their own words. He added we often don't truly know what our EB students are feeling, thinking, or experiencing until we take the time to hear it directly from them. To view the video, click this link:

Due to the potential for heavy rain overnight and early Saturday morning, the decision has been made to postpone the Lions Baseball Alumni game. Lions Head Coach Leo Murguia said it was a hard decision, but was the best decision. He thanked all of the Alumni who had signed up to come and play. The game is being moved to the end of the baseball season. Coach Murguia said if the Lions did not make the playoffs, the game would be played on Friday, May 1. If the Lions do advance to the postseason, the date will be pushed back. He added those who had ordered a t-shirt can contact him and make arrangements to pick it up.
