There will be contests & prizes, food, music, and fun. For more information or for volunteer opportunities, please email the PTO at [email protected] .
Forensics Assistant Coaching Position
This sport is particularly suited for those who love drama and oral presentation. This position will include two practices a week Monday and Wednesday afternoons 3:30-4:30 and four Saturday meets between December and March. Practices begin in October and go through the first week of March. There is very little prep work but a lot of pay off in this sport. If interested, email [email protected] as soon as possible.
Crossing Guards Needed
If you would like to become a crossing guard on either campus, please contact Pat Agee by phone 471-1999 x266 or by email. This is a paid position. The City of Colorado Springs requires all volunteers to take a training class. |
CMCA/Vanguard Gear
Letter Jackets
One of our school parents is a representative for Jostens, the company who handles our high school graduation needs. Jostens also provides custom letter jackets and offers many benefits that our current vendor does not provide.
The benefits include scheduling a time for Mr. Adducci to come in and measure each student for size, having students select individual options for embroidery, and the best part is delivery in only 2 weeks!
Please click here for price and order information. Mrs. Custer will set two dates for Mr. Adducci to come to Vanguard, one in October and the other in early December. Letter jackets make great Christmas gifts!
Buy a CMCA/Vanguard Blanket or Bear!
What better way to stay warm than to wrap up in a CMCA or Vanguard fleece blanket and cuddle up with a CMCA teddy bear or Vanguard courser! Please see Robin Nickel in the K-4 Front Office to purchase.
Personalized Utility Tote Bages
A large utility tote is perfect for sports gear, grocery runs, road trips and more! The Organizing Utility Tote has 5 pockets and 2 mesh pockets...perfect for crafts, baby stuff and picnics! Both come embroidered with your choice of Vanguard Gold or CMCA Red and up to 2-lines of personalization. See the bags in the Vanguard Library or the CMCA Front Office.
