The Village School's Jada Malone (10th grade) was recently named ALL-VYPE Private School Women's Basketball Player of the Year. She also earned District MVP and 1st Team All-State for a Lady Vikings basketball team that finished with a school record 39 wins and runner-up in the TAPPS 6A state championship game. She was the team leader in points, rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage, setting numerous school records along the way.
Jada will return to a team that will only be losing 1 senior. The future is very bright for the Lady Vikings, but Coach Brotherton does not want to turn the page so quickly, "Are we excited about the future? Yes, of course. That being said, we have been so engrained in the process of improving throughout this year, that it is time to step back and appreciate our accomplishments. A lot of people are quick to transition to next year, but I hope that people around the school have an appreciation for what the 2018-2019 Village Lady Vikings basketball team accomplished. It was a special group of student-athletes, who completed a historic season."
Every school is home to exceptional individuals dedicated to making a positive impact on their community. Whether it's through class initiatives, service projects, or independent efforts, students are constantly striving to improve the world around them.
At The Village School, these initiatives shine brightly as students embrace opportunities to lead with empathy and purpose. One such example is a project started by Milan Drummond, a 12th grader with a passion for justice and community well-being. Through her initiative, Harmony Highways, Milan is working to improve relations between the public and law enforcement, reflecting both her desire to make a difference and her career aspirations.
During the summer time, vacations, pools, and fun are certainly on children’s minds. However, it’s also important to incorporate learning into their day. Summer learning loss, also known as the "summer slide," refers to the decline in academic and social skills that can occur when children are not engaged in educational activities during the summer months. Dana Sheridan, LPC, Lower School Counselor at The Village School, sheds light on this issue and offers practical solutions for parents to keep their children's minds active during the long summer break.
