Dear Vanderhoof Families-
This week is full with fun events! We have the 4th grade musical, spirit week, field trips, band and orchestra concerts, and winter parties. Our classroom winter parties will be on Friday, December 20th from 2:00-3:00pm. This is always a fun celebration as we get ready for winter break. Thank you to our PTA and room parents who volunteer to make these parties fun and special for all of our students.
The lost and found is overflowing ! If you are missing items please take a moment to come and check out if any of the items that have been found belong to your student. We will donate any unclaimed items after winter break.
