Venta Casual Wear is Here!
 
Venta casual wear features a hoody sweat shirt or cotton t-shirt in white or grey with an "athletic font" VENTA logo printed in maroon.   There is also the option of ordering custom embroidery on the hoody.
 
Funds raised from the sale of the casual wear will go towards athletics at the school, starting with an order of seedlings to be planted in the spring to replace the trees that were cut down when we created our new trail around the perimeter of the property.
 
There will be samples of the various sizes of shirts/hoody's available in the main office as of tomorrow.
