Activities

Our campuses are full of engaging activities, organizations and events that encourage a sense of community. From spirit weeks, dances and pep rallies to movies on the lawn, service projects, and a diverse selection of clubs, our Buffalo experience a vibrant campus life that facilitates meaningful connections and memories.

Celebrate Literacy Week

This weeklong celebration of reading highlights our love for literacy through fun and engaging activities including trivia from popular book titles, community guest readers, a library card drive and more!

Field Trips

From experiencing the history of our state firsthand in St. Augustine to blasting off on an adventure at Kennedy Space Center and more, students connect learning from the classroom to the world in a fun and memorable way. Some of our youngest students also enjoy in-school presentations from our local first responder groups during our Safety Fair week.

Math Field Day

Working together as a team, upper grade students from both campuses enlist their problem-solving and critical thinking skills as they experience the excitement of friendly competition at the county level.

Reading Buddies

Designed to enhance literacy skills and create a supportive learning community, upper grade students are paired with younger students to read with one another as they build meaningful connections through a shared love for reading.

Reading Celebration Field Day

To celebrate our love of reading and all that we’ve learned throughout the year, our students enjoy a fun-filled field day full of activities including relay races, games, bubbles, snow cones and more!

Safety Patrol

Activities

Energy Bus

The Energy Bus, an international best seller by Jon Gordon, takes readers on an enlightening and inspiring ride that reveals 10 secrets for approaching life. The VCMS campuses will complete activities each school year to help our Middle School students have the ride of their lives.

Field Trips

Students extend their learning beyond the classroom through field trips that provide exciting and engaging hands-on learning opportunities. These opportunities create the right balance of fun and education to develop critical thinking skills and bring classroom theory to life while making learning fun. Our trips vary from The Orlando Science Center, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Busch Gardens Physics Day and more.

Pep Rallies

Pep rallies are a way we spotlight and showcase our student athletes and various clubs/organizations. It is our way of honoring our exceptional students and how they contribute to our school. In addition to our athletes and organizations, we offer a variety of opportunities for students to show school spirit with some friendly competition. We host relays and various student/teacher challenges to leave the students with a strong sense of pride for their school.

School Dances

School dances allow students a safe and structured environment to be social and spend time with friends. They are also a way for students to become involved and demonstrate their creativity through planning and decorating as they participate in Student Council. Student Council uses peer relationships to involve the majority of the student body in the dance process. Students can also take advantage of photo booths that are provided as part of the dance ticket as well as an option to purchase souvenirs to enjoy and commemorate the experience.

Student Organizations & Clubs

Extra-curricular clubs and student organizations also provide students opportunities to connect with the community and one another. From Student Council to Science Olympiad and much more, get involved!

Student life at VHS reflects our community of students and the diversity of their interests and passions. Through engaging activities, events and clubs, students are provided opportunities to explore their interests, hone their talents, and connect with one another.

It’s great to be a Buffalo!
