Dear Vanderhoof families- Last week was a busy week of celebrations! Our teachers were showered with love, thank you to our PTA for organizing this week and making our teachers feel so special.
We are looking forward to continuing our end of year celebrations in the next two weeks. Our Band and Orchestra will share their amazing musical talents during their concert at school on May 15th. The Trimester 3 Awards ceremony will be on May 16th. Kindergarten will have their end of the year celebration on May 21st and 5th continuation will follow on May 22nd. We look forward to seeing everyone on May 21st for our Community Night and 5th grade kickball event.

👟 5th Grade Kickball Game & Spring Community Night - May 21 👟
Join us on Wednesday, May 21st, from 3:30 to 5:30 to cheer on the 5th graders as they battle the teachers in our annual kickball game! This casual get-together is an opportunity to connect with other families while the kids play. We will provide sports equipment, bubbles, and a chalk station. Student Government will run the CASH-ONLY Snack Shack, with drinks and snacks available for $1. KONA Ice will also be on-site for purchase.
✏️ School Supply Kits via Yubbler ✏️
We are excited to offer Yubbler’s school supplies program, which makes it a breeze for parents to get school supplies for next year. Yubbler.com is making our supply lists available for online purchasing at discounted prices. The best part is that Yubbler will donate 50% of the profits back to Vanderhoof. Talk about a win-win!
