Recently Mr. Kelley visited our elementary Vantage students to show them how our school's heating and cooling system works. It was fascinating to see all of the moving parts and to learn how VB does our best to conserve energy. #BeABlackKnight

Tricia Valasek, executive director of Raise the Bar Hancock County, visited Van Buren today to talk about the opportunities students could have if they participate in Raise the Bar's apprenticeship program. D.S. Brown Company, Kalmbach Feeds Inc., Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, and Hitachi Astemo are all looking for apprentices, and this provided students with an opportunity to learn more about the companies and what they want to see in their apprentices.
