Dear Vanderfhoof Families-

Thank you for participating in the PTA sponsored Read-a -thon for our Spring fundraiser this year. Sunday, March 10th is the last day to log reading minutes. This fundraiser is so great, it helps raise funds for our school while also promoting the love of reading. Don’t forget the 5th grade musical is on Tuesday, March 12th at 5:30 pm. Students have been practicing and getting ready to perform. Also, thank you to all our families that participated in PTA's Heartfelt Stock up- your contributions filled our staffs hearts and we appreaciate everything.

Please check the lost and found for items your student may be missing. The collection bins are overflowing again, and any items left will be donated over Spring Break.

Don’t forget to set your clocks forward.
