Welcome to Kayla May

Please give a warm welcome to Kayla May, our new preschool lead teacher.

 My name is Kayla May. I am a Lead Preschool Teacher at Vestaburg! This is my fourth year as a teacher. When I am not at school, I am spending time with my husband and our newborn daughter. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going on road trips, and being outdoors. I am so excited for this new journey at Vestaburg!

Thank you Community and School Board!

We would like to say Thank You to the community of Vestaburg and the Vestaburg School Board for the purchase of our new student desks and chairs. The items arrived and were quickly assembled by our maintenance staff just before our Open House. Many parents commented on how sharp the new desks looked. It makes me feel proud knowing that our community is willing to provide such items to help our students grow. The new furniture is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, 

The 5th Grade Team

Welcome Kayt Sponseller - 2nd Grade Teacher

We are pleased to announce the addition of Mrs. Kayt Sponseller to our staff. Mrs. Sponseller will be joining our elementary teaching team, specifically in the Second Grade. We look forward to her contributions to our educational community.
My name is Kayt Sponseller, and I am originally from Beaverton, Michigan. I graduated from Beaverton Jr/Sr High School and then attended Western Michigan University, where I received my Bachelor of Science degree. I previously worked as a paraprofessional for Midland County ESA, where I fell in love with working with children. I have worked various other jobs since then, but always knew I wanted to get back to the school environment, so I went to work on getting my teaching certificate, and I am so excited for my next journey at Vestaburg schools. 
In my spare time I love spending time with my family, going on walks, and watching movies!

Back to School Update

To the students, families, and community of Vestaburg,

The start of a new school year always brings a special kind of energy, and I am incredibly excited to welcome everyone back for what promises to be a remarkable year of learning and growth. I hope you've all had a restful and rejuvenating summer break.

As we embark on this new journey together, our district's theme for the year is "Cross the Line." I'm sure many of you, whether you've played sports or cheered from the sidelines, have heard a coach demand that players "touch the line." It's a call for effort and precision—to not take shortcuts and to go beyond what is expected.  

This year, however, we want to go beyond that. We're challenging ourselves not just to touch the line, but to run right through it and Cross the Line. This is a call to action for all of us—students, teachers, staff, and families—to push past our comfort zones, to exceed expectations, and to achieve things we might not have thought possible. It means embracing new challenges, exploring innovative ideas, and dedicating ourselves to excellence in every aspect of our work as individuals, team members, and a community.

We have an amazing year planned, and I am confident that by working together, we will not only meet our goals but truly Cross the Line in our pursuit of providing the best possible education for every student.  We ARE Vestaburg!!

I look forward to seeing all the great things we will accomplish together.

Warmly,

Brandon Hubbard
