Valley Center-Pauma

We are thrilled to announce our VCPUSD Biliteracy Educators of the Year: Sandra Rincon and Minerva Storms! 🌟 Through their passion and dedication, Sandra and Minerva empower our students to become biliterate in both English and Spanish. By promoting bilingualism and cultural awareness, they are helping shape globally-minded learners prepared to thrive in an interconnected world. We are incredibly proud of their impact and so grateful for the enthusiasm they bring to our schools and community.

Boots, brushes, and a whole lot of talent! 🎨 We had an amazing turnout for Lilac School's FAVE Art Night! It was a fun-filled evening celebrating the creativity and imagination of our students. A big thank you to Lilac's many volunteers and great staff for putting on the event, students for all their hard work, and to our wonderful families for attending and supporting our school community. 💜

Today, we celebrated academic excellence at Valley Center Middle School's 3rd Quarter Awards! 🎉🦅 Congratulations to all our 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade Thunderhawks who earned a 3.2 to 4.0 GPA. Your hard work is inspiring and we are proud of your accomplishments! The assemblies were standing room only with families cheering for their students! Thank you VCMS families for your support, encouragement, and partnership. Keep up the great work, Thunderhawks! Let's finish the school year strong.

Lots of guests at our elementary schools for Career Week, thank you to CAL Fire for visiting Lilac School and talking about how you serve our community and what it means to work as a firefighter!
