Message from the Principal
Dear Virginia Lake Families,
A special thank you to Mr. Bubaris for putting together our Veterans Day assembly video. Families can click on the following link to watch the event. Both assemblies were merged into one video.
A friendly reminder that on Wednesday, December 7th Virginia Lake will host two Pro Kids shows. A special thank you to our PTA for planning this event for our students! Students will engage with Tim Hanning to learn about anti-bullying while watching magic and listening to jokes. We would like to invite our students that evening at 6:30 p.m. to engage in the show with their entire family. Busing will be available for the event.
This is the last week to donate to the Pie a Staff member event. All of the donations will go directly to our PBIS program to support good choices at school.
Thank you to all of the families that have reached out to support our students during the holidays! Virginia Lake is hosting a Family Holiday Program. We have over 120 students in need of gifts for the holidays this year. Wish lists include clothing, shoes, and one toy. If your family would like to adopt a student, please contact Ms. Maria, majewskm@ccsd15.net or Mrs. Van Winkle, vanwinkp@ccsd15.net. Please share how many children you would like to adopt, and their wish lists will be shared with you. We are asking families to drop off gifts by Friday, December 16th. Gifts will be distributed on Monday, December 21st and Tuesday, December 22nd.
Let’s make it a great week!
Warmest Regards,
Patti Van Winkle, Principal
