Today our Community Circle was hosted by our second grade. Voyage Academy's Design Principle for this month is Service and Compassion. The 2nd graders presented three Compassion and Service awards. One to Ms.Kap's 1st grade class for helping a classmate when she was in a wheelchair after having surgery. The second award went to Anna from 3rd grade for always helping with the lunch bins and Mrs. Douglas (our Curriculum Director) received the final award for helping the 2nd graders learn new ways to do things and always being so nice to everybody.
