🎄 Shoutout to Vandalia Community High School Students! 🎄
A heartfelt thank you to all our VCHS students for helping the National Honor Society members fulfill their goal of sending 500 Christmas cards to the USO! These cards will bring joy and gratitude to soldiers and sailors stationed overseas during the holiday season. 🎅✉️
Your teamwork and thoughtful messages are a beautiful example of the Vandalia spirit and show the impact we can make when we work together. 🌟 This effort truly reflects the heart of service and gratitude this season.
Proud to be a part of such a caring and compassionate school community!

📚🔍 Spotlight on Learning in Mrs. Daniken’s ENG I Classes! 🔍📚
This week, our 9th-grade students took on the role of literary detectives in an Edgar Allan Poe Crime Scene Investigation Project! 🕵️♂️🕵️♀️
Through collaboration and critical thinking, students:
📖 Analyzed Poe's chilling texts to uncover key details about the crime.
📝 Completed in-depth character analysis to explore victimology.
🎭 Developed a suspect profile based on evidence from the story.
⏳ Created detailed timelines to piece together the events and solve the mystery!
It’s been amazing to see their creativity and analytical skills shine as they cracked these haunting cases! Great work, ENG I students—Poe himself would be proud! 👏 #LiteraryDetectives #EdgarAllanPoe #9thGradeELA
