Good evening Tigers. This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with a fun and exciting message of community engagement to the Versailles community.
This evening we are proud to announce "The Versailles Voices Project"
This is an open invitation to all Versailles stakeholders...Versailles staff, students, and community members. We want to hear from all perspectives on this.
Below are a few examples of what will become posts which we will share regularly on our Social Media channels as well as the Versailles Schools app. We are looking for short quotes that you would love to share with the community as a whole about what you love about the School District as well as the greater Versailles community.
There is not a "correct" format for your response. We just want the comments to be genuine and to come from your heart, but we've provided a few example "starters" to get you thinking about what this might look like for you, if you choose to participate.
Click the link below to participate. Please Share so others can participate. Please encourage others to participate as well. Let's make this go viral! We can't wait to see where this goes!

"This honor recognizes the outstanding work your school is doing to engage more female students in computer science. Research shows that female students who take AP computer science are more likely to major in computer science in college compared with matched peers. Through your leadership in diversifying computer science education, you’re preparing your female students for the in-demand jobs of the future and giving them the opportunity to help solve some of society's most challenging problems. "
Again, congratulations. Thank you for your commitment to expanding access to computer science education.
Sincerely,
Advanced Placement Program
