Staff Work Week

Since Monday, the entire VIMSIA staff has been hard at work preparing for March 30th.

We have been discovering and mastering new technologies, such as ZOOM and Google Classrooms. We have also been completing some important projects in our physical classrooms.

We also have been sanitizing and organizing all spaces on campus! Ms. Gribble took this opportunity to tackle the storage space under Ms. Summer Classroom and give it a overhaul with Ms. Duncan.
