Congratulations to the Veazie Community School Viking Robotics Team on winning the Global Innovation Award at Saturday's State of Maine Robotics Competition!!! Their winning project was a proposal to manufacture shipping containers made out of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber significantly reduces container weight without sacrificing strength, which in turn reduces the amount of fuel needed when being transported by shipping vessels, trains, and trucks. Go Viking Robotics!!

Thank you to VCS School Counselor Mrs. Dineen, our wonderful staff, and our generous VCS community for coordinating the feeding of 38 individuals over this Thanksgiving holiday break. As many of you know, this is a much needed resource for many VCS families this year in particular. We cannot thank you enough and hope that it warms your heart knowing that you played a part in this wonderful gift.

11/5/21 Hello VCS Staff and Families, Last night we sent out a text message to all staff and families (a message from our Civil Rights Team asking people to wear red). I am learning that some people did not receive this text. As I had shared in an earlier weekly newsletter, changes were made in our communication system related to annoying 'spam' texts we have all been receiving on our phones. What I believe is happening here is that if you did not receive yesterday's text, your cellular carrier marked it as spam and blocked it. The fix is below: If you received last night's text about wearing red today, you are all set and do not have to do anything further. You will continue to receive texts from VCS. If you did not receive a text (and normally receive our text messages at your number), please do the following: Text the word: START to the number: 98900 This will activate Apptegy texting services....you may also get a quick, one-time text from Apptegy about this. After doing this, you will be all set going forward. If you do not have a cell number on file, or you have changed your number recently, please contact Ms. Lindsey, our office manager, and she will update this information (tlindsey@veaziecs.org). Thank you and have a great weekend! -Mr. Cyr

The VCS Robotics Team is preparing for this year's state competition! They are writing code for robots made out of LEGOS. These robots integrate various sensors and motors. A lot of trial and error for these young engineers!
