VMMS was proud to honor our March Mustangs of the month. Every month, the VMMS staff is able to nominate staff and students from VMMS who exemplify the true character of a Mustang. Below are the individuals who have been chosen and what others have written about them. MARCH MUSTANGS OF THE MONTH:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Grade 6: Addison Jenssen\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addison always shows up and gives 100%. When we needed someone to step up and fill in for a second part in our mock trial, she was enthusiastically up to the challenge. She pulled off doing the second part with poise and convincingly looked like a different character “swiftly” changing back and forth between the two roles. You can always count on Addison to be helpful, kind, and a student of good character.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Grade 7: Madison Tracey\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Madison is a great student who is involved in many extra curricular activities in and outside of school and still manages to maintain EXCELLENT grades. Madison always tries to do the right things and is kind to her friends, teachers, and peers. Madison has struggled with some friendships this year and feeling left out but she never takes out frustrations on anyone and tries to solve the problem on her own. Madison is very mature for her age and always tries to include peers in games when they are left out, which I’ve witnessed when she was a player on the school basketball team. Madison was also a peer buddy for the Autism class for two marking periods and is hoping to join again in the future to provide consistent support to the students in that class.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

Grade 8: <\/strong>Patrick Campbell\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Patrick is an exceptional young man. He recently was accepted to ALPS. Moreover, he works diligently on all assignments, often sharing his work with his peers. He is a leader and he is ALWAYS respectful to adults. He often carries mature conversations with his teachers, balancing sharing and inquiring about their lives. His people skills and intrinsic motivation will get him far in life. He is deserving of this award and I would love to honor a student that has both kindness and academic integrity.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Support Staff: Raymond Franklin\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr. Franklin has been a great addition to the autism classrooms and the VMMS community. Even though he is new this year, he has already built strong relationships with both students and staff. He is patient, kind, and always willing to help. Mr. Franklin works hard to support students by assisting with their individual needs and helping with classroom routines. His calm and caring attitude makes a big difference in the students\u2019 daily lives. VMMS is lucky to have him!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Teacher: Michelle Kayatin<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Without hesitation, Michelle stepped up and offered to cover and extra math class while another teacher is out on medical leave. Her willingness to take on this responsibility shows her dedication and reliability. She is patient and handles the challenges of managing a classroom with skill and care, which is no easy task. Michelle consistently creates a positive and structured learning environment, helping students stay focused and engaged. She is a true team player, always ready to support her colleagues and contribute wherever she is needed. Her hard work and commitment make her an invaluable part of the school community.<\/strong><\/div>\n
