Thursday, May 27, 2010  

10:15-10:30  Kindergarten through ninth grade students will join together at the basketball court for a "whole school photo" and to watch the pie smashing event of the year! Mr. George, Mrs. Wafwa, Mr. Banning, and Mrs. OldenKamp will take one in the face for science!

11:30-3pm 6^th-9^th students will enjoy a Hawaiian Luau VCS style! Students will be able to participate in many activities, competitions, a dance, barbeque, dessert, and lots of fun to celebrate the end of the 2009-2010 school year! Please watch for additional information to come home regarding events and what to wear! I hear students will need sunscreen, a towel, and change of clothes! 

WORK NIGHT AT VCS!

We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to come to VCS from
6pm - 9pm on June 3, 2010 to take off all of the skirting around the
bottom of the portables. This is a huge job and we will need lots of helpers to make this happen.

It will save the school a ton of money if we could put our collective muscles together and take down the skirting. If you have pry bars, hammers, saws alls, skill saws or other useful tools, please bring them for the work night. Please understand that all volunteers will be working at their own risk. This would be a great evening to bring your teenagers to volunteer their energy, time, and service to the school.
