Huge shoutout to our amazing School Resource Officer, Jared Haustveit! 👮‍♂️💙 He connects with our VMS students in such positive ways and makes a real impact on our school community.

Recently, he spent the day teaching Digital Tools classes about internet safety — from smart online choices to the risks of cyberbullying and social media. The conversations were powerful and eye-opening.

We’re so lucky to have him as part of our VMS family! 🙌
