@dpeter @vcsc_teamvigo We're doing it every Thursday, and it's posted on our Facebook and Twitter on Thursdays. I tagged you in a retweet of Thursday's post.

[Bill Riley @VCSCBill]

@dpeter Here it is. We're doing it every Thursday. It was posted on Thursday to our Facebook as well.

To extend the conversations from our eight community meetings, we will be using Thought Exchange on Thursdays to get community perspectives on our potential high school building project.

Spectacular event, and smart planning by school counselor Hillary Eup to provide a career day for students! #teamvigo

[Vigo County School Corporation @vcsc_teamvigo]

Rio Grande, under the direction of school counselor Hillary Eup, adapted its Career Day to make sure students are college and career ready.

5th graders at Rio Grande researched careers and presented their work to fellow students outside on the “Bobcat Walk.”

We've heard from over 300 Vigo County residents in our first 4 community meetings. Now we want to hear from you!

There are 4 more meetings in this initial round of discussions, with 2 this week:

Monday: Terre Town
Tuesday: Dixie Bee

Help us "build our future, for our future!"

[Bill Riley @VCSCBill]

Another great night with about 70 Vigo County residents!

If you've missed the first two, you have 6 more chances in this round of community meetings. Join us tonight at DeVaney or tomorrow night at Rio Grande!

Energy was high and all of the kids had a great time either welcoming new friends or exploring their new school. Kudos to the Ouabache staff! #teamvigo

[Vigo County School Corporation @vcsc_teamvigo]

Ouabache Elementary welcomed Deming students who will transition to Ouabache next year for a fun field trip today. The Cat in the Hat led them through a school parade, and student leaders and teachers helped them navigate the building via a fun scavenger hunt. #teamvigo

@NicoleK_WTWO I'm just here for after the final rose🍿

[Vigo County School Corporation @vcsc_teamvigo]

If your high school student left Vigo County Schools for the 2020-21 school year and they'd like to come back for the 2021-22 school year, help is available to make sure they get the classes they need!

Also, if you've never seen a giant tractor roll down 7th street in Terre Haute, it is an EXPERIENCE!

[Bill Riley @VCSCBill]

City school, schmity school. The excitement around our new ag programming at North, South, and West Vigo High Schools is palpable!

You don't have to be a "farm kid" to learn about applications in engineering, graphic design, and computer science!
#teamvigo

[Vigo County School Corporation @vcsc_teamvigo]

The new agriculture programs at Vigo County's high schools are alive and well, and FFA students at Terre Haute South Vigo High School celebrated today with a "Drive Your Tractor to School" day.

We have over 40 career pathways--the most in the Wabash Valley.

Vigo County is back in blue! (For our score. Still a yellow advisory rating until we can be blue for two straight weeks.)

544 people were served at the end of the distribution today. Fantastic work, @SSScotties!

[Vigo County School Corporation @vcsc_teamvigo]

Sarah Scott Middle School partnered with Catholic Charities this morning to provide food boxes to community members facing food insecurity. With nearly 100 families served today, they’ll continue the program on the second Monday of the month.
