Read MoreHey Volts community! Volleyball season is winding down, but not without celebrating our team's success. This week, the varsity boys beat All-Saints 3-0, and the girls scored a big win against our chief rival, Antilles, 3-1. This Friday and Saturday are big days as both our boys and girls varsity teams are in action at the MCM center. Our middle school girls team will also be playing All-Saints on Saturday for a place in the playoffs. Come on out and support our Volts teams this weekend!
As volleyball season is ending, this means we are getting started with basketball and track and field. Please be posted regarding the practice schedule. I have been hearing from parents about the desire to field teams for our elementary school students. This is entirely possible, but not without your help. If you know of anyone who can help out on a volunteer basis to coach track and field or basketball for our fourth and fifth graders, please contact me - wfranz@vimsia.org. We can do this, but we need coaches!

More than sixty student athletes, coaching staff and administrators gathered in the Virgin Islands Montessori School & Peter Gruber International Academy’s (VIMSIA) music room on Wednesday night for VIMSIA’s annual athletic awards banquet. Shane DeGannes, R.N.
School Nurse and Athletic Director, was the master of ceremonies.
The program began with a delicious reception for the many family and friends in attendance followed by the distribution of Participation Awards. Coaches Ronald Blyden, Nalani Figueroa, Matt Stocking, John Hairston and Joe Elger presented the athletic awards each distributing a most valuable player, most improved player and hardest worker award for every team.
Next, the highly anticipated athlete of the year was announced awarding female athlete Adia Thomas and male athlete Karl Dinang. "Our athletic program has grown to a point and now we must formally recognize the great things our student athletes have accomplished” commented DeGannes.
VIMSIA’s athletic program continues to grow in size and importance as noted by Head of School, Michael Bornn, saying “education of the whole child is not just academic but athletics are a critical part as well and the formation of our students in the athletic arena this year was truly outstanding.”
