🎉 Happy National School Counselors Week! 🎉
We want to give a huge shoutout to our very own Mrs. Fortson! Thank you for the care, support, and dedication you show each and every day to our students and their families. Your impact goes far beyond the classroom, and we are so grateful for all that you do. 💕
We appreciate you today and always! 👏✨
📚🦅 Snow Day or Any Day—Let’s Read, VPS Eagles! 🦅📚
Every page counts! Whether you’re curled up cozy like our eagle friend or reading on the go, keep turning those pages and don’t forget to log them.
Our school-wide goal is 1 MILLION pages read by the end of the school year, and we know we can do it together! 💪✨
So grab a book you love, read a little every day, and log those pages to help us soar to our goal.
Let’s show what readers can do! ❤️📖
This week’s Ultimate Eagle goes to Mrs. Cates! Even after just one year, these former students still remember her fondly, proof of the strong connections she builds. 🦅♥️
Cookies, cocoa, and a whole lot of reading! 📚🍪☕ Just a glimpse of a few of our students who completed their 2nd nine weeks reading logs and helped us work toward our 1 million pages goal by May!
This week, we are recognizing Nurse Ashley, who was nominated by Mrs. Hill for the Ultimate Eagle Award! We are so thankful that Nurse Ashley has become a part of our school family this year. She consistently goes above and beyond to make both students and staff feel loved and cared for every single day. Congratulations, Nurse Ashley, and thank you for all you do!
🏀Pee Wee Night, Friday, January 9th!
Little Dribblers first practice is tomorrow at 5:30 in the VPS Big Room! Deadline to sign up is January 13th!
Welcome Back, Mrs. McBee!
Please join us in extending a warm welcome to our new music teacher, Melissa McBee!
Mrs. McBee is stepping into the role previously held by Mrs. Sarah Stokes. As many of you know, Mrs. Stokes and her family have relocated to another state. While we are sad to see her go, we wish her and her family nothing but the very best in their new adventures!
We feel incredibly blessed to have Mrs. McBee joining our team. She is a familiar face to many, having previously taught music right here in Vilonia before her retirement. We are so grateful that she has decided to "un-retire" to share her passion and expertise with our students once again.
Please help us make Mrs. McBee feel right at home! 🎶
VPS wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We will see you all back on Tuesday, January 6, 2026!

🎄🦌 Our First Graders Shined Bright! 🦌
Tonight our amazing first graders took the stage and brought The Littlest Reindeer musical to life! From the adorable songs to the big smiles, they performed with so much heart and holiday spirit.

Great job, first graders! 🎶🎅
What a great way to start a Friday! This morning, we were thrilled to have our amazing Vilonia High School Cheerleaders visit! They brought school spirit, greeting students with high fives and huge smiles as they arrived. Later, during our Feel Good Friday assembly, they shared a special message focused on Habit 4: Think Win Win! They taught about the importance of cooperation, looking for solutions that help everyone, and working together as a team. Thank you to our wonderful cheerleaders for inspiring students both with their spirit and their character!
