SKI TEAM MEETING
TEACHER BLOGS
Greetings!

 

Cold weather is here! Please place your child's name on the tag of his/her coat.

The Economy has been really hard on many families! VCS has just received a grant from the Windermere Foundation directed through the Caldwell Branch to help families struggling at VCS. Please e-mail Mrs. OldenKamp at
wendyroldenkamp@msn.com if you need help buying a coat, gloves, or a hat for your child this winter.

 

Families needing help this winter need to contact Mrs. OldenKamp by November 5, 2010. Please send the size of the coat, the gender of the child, and his/her favorite color. We will purchase the coats, gloves, and hats by November 8th and have them at the school for delivery to the students or for parents to pick up. We will make every effort to provide support for every family who asks for help. Your request will be confidential.

CANNED FOOD DRIVE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CANNED FOOD DRIVE Starts November 1st!  Food will be given to needy families at VCS. Students may take the canned foods to his/her classroom daily. Boxes will be provided by the VCS Student Government Class.

 

We are looking for eight families who are needing support this holiday season with food. If your family has lost your housing and are living with another family or relative to make ends meet, please contact Mrs. Oldenkamp at wendyroldenkamp@msn.com.

If you or your spouse has been laid off or lost your job and your family is struggling to make ends meet, please notify Mrs. OldenKamp at wendyroldenkamp@msn.com. Your request for support will be kept confidential.

DATES TO REMEMBER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 A Fun, Fantastic, Fall Festival, performed by kindergarten and 1st grade:

Please plan on attending only one performance in order to give all who want to attend the opportunity to have a seat.  Older siblings wishing to watch may be checked out by parents for the program and then checked back in to school after the program.  We look forward to seeing you there.
