We loved welcoming our amazing parents into 4th grade classrooms to kick off our Career Fair!

Students had the opportunity to learn firsthand about a wide variety of careers and ask thoughtful questions. From hands-on demonstrations to inspiring stories, each presentation helped spark curiosity and excitement about the future. This experience helped our students prepare for their own upcoming career presentations by giving them ideas, building their confidence, and showing them what makes a presentation engaging and informative.

A huge THANK YOU to all of the parents who took the time to share their experiences and passions with our students—we are so grateful for your support and partnership! 💙

The next meeting of the Van Meter Board of Education will take place Wednesday, April 15, beginning at 5:00pm at the District Board Room. The meeting is open to the public.

Mrs. Swartz’s 6th graders kicked off their new unit by tackling challenges and testing their ability to persevere. Throughout the unit, they will focus on themes of adversity and overcoming obstacles in their books. 💪

Happening this Friday: the "The Golden Gala!" 🌟
