We are proud to share this week’s recognition from the Addison Independent! Congratulations to Nilah for being named a Student of the Week for the 2025–2026 school year. Nilah's compassion and strong work ethic have had a positive impact on our school community, making her an excellent representative of VUHS.

Students at VUHS had the opportunity to complete a cow eye dissection last week, giving them a hands-on look at how the eye's structures work together to create vision. They identified the cornea, lens, retina, optic nerve, and other key parts while comparing what they observed to classroom models and diagrams. The dissection helped students see how light moves through the eye and how each structure plays a role in the way we understand the world around us. It was an engaging way to bring science to life through close observation and inquiry.

Here are just a few of the many many pictures from Spirit Week! We will keep gathering them and share an album next week. See blow for some images of "anything but a backpack," "dress like a teacher/student," class color day and twin day! I promise the student climbed in the suitcase on his own and was never closed in it. 

Beavers are North America’s largest rodent (The largest rodent being the capybara of course)

Beavers can hold their breath for 15 minutes
