WALK TO SCHOOL DAY WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 14TH 2015

Every child who participates will be entered into a raffle to win a small gift as a token of their commitment to respecting the environment and aiming for a healthy lifestyle. We need at least 2 to 3 volunteers at each entrance to the school that morning to help this happen. If you can help, kindly email Sarah Culbert.

Shop Amazon/Help PTO
There is nothing you can't find on Amazon and we know many of you use this site frequently.
But, did you know that by making a slight adjustment to the way you access their website, you could be benefiting the VFMS PTO?
When you shop at AmazonSmile (www.smile.amazon.com), rather than the regular Amazon site, Amazon donates 0.5% of the purchase price to Valley Forge Middle School Parent Teacher Organization. Bookmark the link http://smile.amazon.com/ch/23-2936863 and support us every time you shop.
