Dear Vanderhoof Families-
What an amazing week of Roadrunner Pride!
I loved every minute of this last week, 3rd grade Musical, Kids Stage, Band and Orchestra, Math Night, and Ameritowne. It was wonderful seeing you all and celebrating your childrens accomplishments this week. We had a record setting number of attendees at our first math curriculum night, over 100 families turned out for some math learning and fun.Thank you to everyone that donated treats and thank you to PTA for all the Raffle items. It brought me such joy to see our roadruners showing off their amazing mathmatical skills and being able to share with you all how an incredible our new math resource is to our learning. We continue to collect clothing and hygiene items for our Caring Closet which we open up to students and families soon. Tri Awards celebration will be next Friday Nov. 22nd please look for invitations from your child's teacher if they are recieving an award. Report cards will also go home next week. Enjoy your Sunday and see you all on Monday.
