Dear Vanderhoof Families-
As we head into winter break, we want to wish each of you a restful and joyful time with your loved ones. Thank you so much for the incredible support, generosity, and care you continue to show our school community. We are deeply grateful for the donations and contributions many of you made to help support families over the holidays—your kindness truly makes a difference.
We are hopeful the wind will settle and the snow will begin to fall, bringing a cozy and peaceful start to the break for all. Please enjoy this special time to slow down, reconnect, and create memories together.
On behalf of our amazing staff, thank you for being such a caring and supportive community. We are grateful for each and every one of our families.
Wishing you a warm, safe, and wonderful winter break.

PTA UPDATES
Spelling Bee
The Vanderhoof Spelling Bee is right around the corner on Jan 23th. Tests were given out in classes this week, and the winners from each class have been sent home with a notification and practice words to work on over break. Please email us with any questions.
Future of PTA
Did you know that next year we still have all of our board positions open for the PTA? While we love and so appreciate all the event volunteers and sign up genius help, our PTA can not run with out a board. The PTA makes so many great things happen at Vanderhoof, but it takes a village to make it all work. It is a great place to make new friends, and is not the commitment you think it is. If you are interested in helping to keep the PTA running please reach out to Vanderhoofparentsinfo@gmail.com.
Board Positions
President
Vice President
Treasurer
Secretary
All of these positions typically run two years, but can also just be a one year term. They can also be run as CO positions meaning the position can be run with you and your bestie to help!
