The first day of school is here!


VFE teachers had their first staff meeting of the year. We completed a team building activity, Team Puzzle. Groups chose a leader, who was blindfolded, and the only one who could touch the puzzle pieces. Great activity to work on communication skills, listening skills, and the importance of working as a team. We also discussed important information necessary to kick off the school year. It’s getting closer to the first day of school. Are you ready? #onetribe #teamwork #backtoschool #professionaldevelopment
