Principal Juergens Report
Juergens Sundae was a HIT thanks to all of our amazing readers!!!
Thank you VG students & families for working together to earn money for our school and as a bonus watching your principal turn into a human sundae!!! It was so much fun (and yes, a bit cold) and the laughter was worth every piece of chocolate, ice cream, and all the other goodies!
We are now moving onto our next spring fundraiser and are so excited to see how we break goals in our Camp VG Virtual experience on March 26th!
Thank you to all our VG families for their continued support, it does not go unnoticed and we could not keep our Art, Music, Technology and classroom paras without your support!
THANK YOU!
Your Grateful Principal,
:) Osi Juergens

Read-A-Thon Success!!!
Great job to all of our students for their hard work and participation especially during this nontraditional year.
The following day, students asked me, "Mrs. Juergens' how did you clean all of that off of you?" "Was it gross?" "It was so funny seeing the teachers add all those toppings onto you."
It was all worth it! Thank you everyone!!!
Here are a few videos and some photos from the Human Sundae making event!
