It was a busy end of year for Vertical Skills Academy! We had a visit from our friend and mentor, Garett Bolles, field day, and student-led conferences to share all the amazing growth this year! We are so proud of our students and staff for their amazing efforts this year.

On a personal note, I got to pass the torch of being Head of School to our amazing Academic Director, Michelle Gasser. Her love of students with dyslexia, passion for advocating and teaching them, and support of families is unrivaled. I feel confident that VSA's future is bright! I will continue on in a consultant role to support the mission and vision of VSA and hope that the many students, families, and colleagues that I have worked with over the past 4 years will continue to cross paths with me. You will also find me at our annual fundraiser, Rockin' Dyslexia, which will be held September 26th-- so Save the Date! We have something special up our sleeve 😉

Thanks to all who supported this dream come true job. Onward and upward VSA!

Cheers,
Amy

From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for putting your heart and soul into the school!

Since day one, Michelle and her family have been an integral part of everything at Vertical Skills Academy! The school community is in great hands with her leadership.

Wow! Vertical Skills continues to be blessed with passion, grase and gratitude. Kara brought her dream and passion to create Vertical Skills from grassroots, compassionet sole healing, of the student's and their families, to the dependable step forward toward a successful future for the many students who have experienced the support and guidance offered here. Amy has been a fearless, leader who has hired Phenomenal teachers and tutors and raised the level of rigger in all subjects! Here knowledge, endless hard work and resources has developed VSA into a full service establishment. We are forever greatful for your service and friendship. Thank you. Michelle has been grooming for this position for several years as she and Amy worked tirelessly together. Michelle is the perfect fit for VSA's Head of School. Working alongside you from when VSA was just a baby, I know you are highly capable of leading the nessasary creative edge that has been instrumental in the success of the school. The students and families are blessed to have you. The staff is already perfectly hand picked. Enjoy your new position. I love your mentors! VSA is more than a school.
