Dear Vanderhoof Families-
March is here! I can't wait for sunny days and beautiful blooming flowers. This time of year goes by quickly so please make sure you are checking our website calendar for the latest events. Big shout out to all our Tri 2 SOAR award recipients. The awards ceremony on Friday was wonderful and always makes me proud to see our community of learners shine. Report cards were sent home on Friday, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher.
Our Read-a-thon fundraiser kicks off this week and we can't wait to encourage students to read and help raise money for our school. We encourage students and staff to dress up like their favorite book character on Monday March 3rd. We will have community members helping to kick off our Read-a-thon by reading to classes throughout the day. See all the details below in the PTA section.
**Reminders- Spring forward happens March 9th. reset your clocks.
