Students are invited to participate in the Warbirds Science of Baseball program powered by Johnson & Johnson! 🔬⚾

Have you ever wondered why some bats hit farther than others or what role friction plays in baseball? This unique opportunity allows students to explore the science behind the game while making real-world connections between physical science and baseball.

Participants will receive:
• Expanded knowledge of how Physical Science relates to baseball
• A certificate of completion
• Two tickets to a Wilson Warbirds game upon completion
• The opportunity to experience batting practice like a Warbirds player

This engaging program combines STEM learning and sports to help students discover how science impacts every aspect of the game.

Greetings Vick Parents and Students,

This is Dr. Lott, assistant principal of Vick Elementary School, with an important announcement regarding Grades 3-5 EOG Testing. We want to thank you for a phenomenal first day of EOG testing. We had near-perfect attendance among students across grade levels today, and we hope to carry that momentum into tomorrow, Thursday, May 21st!

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 21st, students in grades 3-5 will take their Reading EOGs. On Friday, students in 5th grade will take their Science EOGs. Again, EOG Testing will begin promptly at 8:30 AM on each testing day. Students who arrive later than 8:30 AM will be required to take make-up testing on a later date. Students are not allowed to enter a live testing session after testing has started.

We encourage students to get plenty of rest and to arrive early enough to eat breakfast before testing begins. Research shows that students who are well-rested, well-fed, hydrated, and relaxed outperform their peers on standardized testing. Thank you again in advance for your continued support. We look forward to seeing our students again, bright and early, tomorrow morning. This concludes our announcement. Thank you for listening.

Shoutout to the Class of 2026!

Yesterday, graduates from Beddingfield High and Hunt High walked the halls of Vick Elementary, inspiring our Panthers with their incredible achievement. Our students cheered them on, and we’re so proud of each graduate! What made it extra special? Some of these graduates once walked these same halls as elementary students. A full-circle moment! Congratulations to all Beddingfield, Hunt, and Wilson County Schools grads. Your future is bright, and we are so proud!
