Every time you use your REDcard at Target, Target will donate 1% of your purchases to our school. Perks of having a Target REDcard include free shipping at Target.com and 5% off of your Target purchases every time you use the card.  If you already have a card, please make sure VFES benefits!  If not and you are a big Target shopper, please consider getting one.

PayPal Is Here - Have You Tried To Use It?

By now you may have used PayPal to purchase a directory, pay for a field trip (4th grade only) or make a donation to the PTO. We implemented PayPal to make PTO payments faster and easier for you and to reduce the hours spent processing checks. We hope you find this new option convenient! No PayPal account? There is an option to pay using a credit card below the PayPal login.

A Note About Sending Cash & Checks To School

When sending cash into school for PTO payments, please make sure you enclose the correct amount and that it is in a sealed envelope. Checks should be written in blue or black ink only. The bank has trouble processing markers and gel pens. Please do not staple checks. Thank you so much for remembering these important points!
