Yearbook Cover Contest Extended!
The Yearbook Committee has provided an additional week for Vernfield students to submit their yearbook cover artwork, so there's still time for your child to participate. Please see the below flyers for more information on submitting a drawing.
Please note that artwork should be on a single sheet of white paper (8.5"x11") and must in a vertical orientation. In addition, all entries must include the school name (Vernfield Elementary), the school year (2021/2022) and the school message (Be the "I" in kind"). More information can be found on the flyers.
All student artwork must be submitted to your child's teacher by Friday, December 10th, in order to be considered for the contest. The winners will be chosen by a panel, with the winning 5th grade drawing being displayed on the front cover of the yearbook, and the winning K-4th grade drawing being displayed on the back cover of the yearbook.
If you have any questions about the yearbook contest, please reach out to Alex Ricketts and Julie Kinch at vernfieldyb@gmail.com.

***IVEF Holiday Giving Campaign***
As we head into this holiday season, please join us as we thank our staff, teachers, and administration for their tireless commitment to the students of the Souderton Area School District. Simplify your holiday shopping and know you are making an impact in your child's school. Donations of all sizes are making a tremendous difference in classrooms district wide. Our goal is to raise $5,000 this holiday season, and it is only possible with your support! Your gift funds innovative initiatives throughout our district.
Keep in mind that the Indian Valley Education Foundation is an approved 501(c)(3) organization so your donation is tax deductible. Additionally, the IVEF is eligible for many corporate match programs. That means you can double your contribution! By helping us reach our funding goal, you are helping our schools and our students succeed!
Online donations can be made now through December 31st, 2021 at https://dsnp.co/zkp3v1
Prefer to give a gift and still support IVEF? Our Boon Supply sale is still open and gifts ordered before December 13th will arrive in time for the holidays. Please visit our fundraiser and help us reach our goal of $5,000!
