Vandercook Lake Public Schools

The Youth Football Flag and Tackle Program had a great end of the year celebration tonight! Thank you to all the athletes, parents, coaches, and volunteers for making it a great 2025 season! Special thanks to Mitch and Katie Osman for organizing our youth football program. #gojayhawks. #vandypride. #redwhite

We had a Vandy grad fly back from Cali to put her handprint on the wall today! Jayhawk Pride!

Please help us give a warm Jayhawk welcome to Mr. Josh Carr, our new Transportation Director! He's a Vandy graduate with experience in routing, driving, and mechanics. We're thrilled to have him back in Jayhawk Country! For all of our bus/van riders, Marcy will be staying on this week with Josh to provide a smooth transition for our families.

Congratulations to our 2025 All Conference Team football players Justin Barnes, Micah Crenshaw, Sam Griffin, Leland Barton, and honorable mention Davion Bradley!

Congratulations to cross country state qualifier, Dallas Swanepoel! He'll be racing at MIS, November 1st at 10:50am. Jayhawk Strong!

Middle school students are conducting an experiment in Ms. Fields computer science class. How many pennies can we place in the aluminum boat?
