Boys Soccer Game at VCS to start at 3:00 - 3:15

Clearing up some confusion. The semi-final playoff game for VCS Boys Soccer vs. China will begin between 3:00 and 3:15 p.m. today at VCS. This is due to the fact that both the boys and girls are playing back to back and we need to allow time to get in both games prior to darkness setting in. Come and cheer on the Vikings!

Farm to School Project this week at VCS!

There are exciting developments afoot at VCS, beginning with Maine Farms Week from October 9-17 and including our Maine Harvest Luncheon on October 17. Read on to learn about these exciting events and what they mean for VCS students.

These activities are part of a larger Farm to School project that was started this fall at VCS through an Oak Grove Foundation Grant. Farm to School programs create connections between schools and local farms. They aim to increase schools’ purchase and consumption of locally grown foods in order to improve children’s health and support local farming communities. F2S programs also create educational links between students and farms, by facilitating classroom visits by farmers and field trips to farms. Along the way, farms and schools develop a deeper sense of community.

To kickoff our F2S program at VCS, we are planning a week of educational activities followed by a “Grown in Maine” Harvest Luncheon. Many local farmers are coming to the school to share their stories, ranging from Grange members who will talk about life on a Vassalboro farm in the early 1900s to a recent VCS grad who now runs a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm in China. Maine’s First Lady, Karen Baldacci, will also be visiting with the children, sharing her experiences gardening at the Blaine House. Meanwhile, our Food Service Staff are busy preparing for another exceptional meal, this time using ingredients from local farms, many within 10 miles of the school, and all from Maine! If this is a success, we hope to add more local foods to the menu throughout the year. Please show your support and have your child eat our Maine Harvest Lunch on October 17! This is a great way to teach kids about the resources and opportunities within their local community.

If you would like to learn more about this project or would like to be involved, feel free to contact us: Also, we may need a few volunteers to help serve lunch on October 17: Deb Soifer (soifer@vcsvikings.org)(445-4250) or Kelly Payson-Roopchand (549-3096).

VCS Book Fair a big success!

Grandparents breakfast, NWEA testing, and a hallway full of books. It can only mean one thing...it's fall in Maine and the VCS Book Fair is in town. Each day there were lots of kids browsing the books and buying books for their own enjoyment. Grandmothers and grandfathers shared the joy of reading with their grandchildren and treated many of them to a special book or two (not to mention a whole bunch of Tom Brady posters). Mr. Rau reports that the book fair was a success and that numbers are up over last year...thanks for supporting the VCS Library!

Have a great Columbus Day weekend!

First Dance of the School Year!

Firday night marked the first dance of the school year! What a dance it was! The kids had a great time. One of the great things about VCS is the fact that everyone knows how to have fun and really cut loose! Both the boys and girls soccer teams won their games earlier in the day...and to cap it off with a great big dance party? Well that's just part of what VCS is all about. See the pics of great kids having a great time!
