Currently our Grade 5 students are participating in Project Give Back. Project Give Back inspires young minds to develop meaningful relationships with their community and become global minded citizens.  The program ignites a spark and students of today become the leaders of tomorrow who make a positive impact on the lives of others. Through Project Give Back our VPPS Grade 5 students were able to teach us about a charitable cause that influences their lives and we all learn together. 
Below are some Projects that were created by our VPPS students.

Yesterday, the Earth Rangers visited our VPPS Primary students. The Earth Rangers School Assembly is a dynamic and interactive presentation that leverages the shared connection children of all backgrounds have to animals. Students are introduced to four of the Earth Rangers Animal Ambassadors, including animals like Kateri the Peregrine Falcon, Gizmo the Eurasian Eagle Owl, and Quillow the Prehensile-tailed Porcupine.We were very fortunate to have had this learning experience!

Our celebratory assembly will be held in April. Please stay tuned to the Blog for the exact date.
