Dear Vanderhoof Families-
Welcome back! The start of a new year is always uplifting. It’s time when we see students begin to grow and take on new learning with zest and ownership. I was so proud of the way all of our students settled right back into their routines and were demonstrating SOARing Roadrunner behaviors. It’s going to be a great second half of the year.

New Year, New Opportunities to Help
If any of the opportunities below spark your interest or you know of someone who would like to help, email us at vanderhoofparentsinfo@gmail.com. Thanks in advance for your partnership in providing our kids an environment where they can thrive!
Spelling Bee - January 23rd
Are you a spelling enthusiast, or maybe you like to casually play Spelling Bee on your phone…we need you! We are looking for one more spelling bee judge. The panel of three spelling bee judges listens as the student verbally spells the word and then confirms if it is a correct spelling.
Heartfelt Restock - February 1st-13th
PTA is supporting our staff by giving them a chance to replenish needed supplies mid-year. We are looking for someone to help us coordinate this effort. Each teacher will provide 3 item requests, and the PTA will collect, share, and promote the wish list.
