Yearbooks
It's not too late to purchase a yearbook! This is a great way to remember all the fun times students had this school year. The cost is $30 and orders may be made online at: https://squareup.com/store/ventana-vista-family-faculty-organization.
Fifth grade Pride Lines are also available at this link for any family members who wish to include a special message to their student.
Spirit Day
The weather is warming up, and Friday Spirit Wear days are back! Students are encouraged to wear their Ventana Vista t-shirts on Fridays to show their school spirit.
It's time for the Spring BOGO Scholastic Book Fair!
Mathathon
We've collected just under $18,500 for this year's Mathathon, with another $3,000 pledged but not yet received. Thank you all for your generous donations and helping to make this fundraiser a success! If you find it easier, outstanding paper pledges may be collected through the online Pledgestar system. Simply make an account for your child at https://pledgestar.com/ventanavistamath/ and share the link.
Evening of the Arts
Save the date for our Arts Night! This year's event will take place on April 26th in the evening. Volunteer opportunities will be coming soon!
April General Meeting
Dr. Mary Kamerzell will be our guest speaker at the April FFO General Meeting. We've moved the date to Thursday, April 18 at 8:30 am to accommodate Dr. Kamerzell's schedule. She will be sharing information about the District Budget for the upcoming school year.
Mileage Club Update
We have run all the way to New York as we total up all the miles walked and ran by our students!
We had a special St Patrick's Day themed Mileage Club today, complete with a Leprechaun and a wee sprinkle o' magic!
Mileage Club is a great way for parents to connect with other parents. Hope to see you on the field Thursdays between 11:15am-1pm.
