We are thrilled to present to you the Holiday Giving Program at Vernfield. It is that time of the year when families often inquire how they can help children or families in need in the Vernfield Community. We greatly appreciate the spirit of wanting to help others!

This year during Conference Week, we have an online sign up where you can sign up for clothing or toy items. Additionally, there will be a gift card option for a Walmart Gift Card or Grocery Store Gift Card. Please click below to sign-up:

If you choose to participate, we ask that all gifts are returned to Vernfield wrapped with the item number assigned to it by Friday, December 15th.

In advance, we thank you all for helping us to brighten the holidays for our own Vernfield Families and wish you a wonderful and joyous holiday season!

If you have any questions please reach out to Nicole Wagner, School Counselor at nwagner@soudertonsd.org or 215-721-0606.

From 12/4-12/7, Vernfield Elementary School is excited to be hosting The Lil’ Shopper’s Shoppe® where children can pick out their own holiday gifts for their family and friends.

The shop is set up and run by parent volunteers and all gifts are priced from 25¢ to $5.00. There are gifts for parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, aunts/uncles, teachers and even pets!

Collegeville Pizza Kits

The Vernfield Hospitality Committee is bringing back Collegeville Pizza Kits - the PERFECT ready to go dinner for a busy December night!

First: We are hoping to send EVERY Vernfield Staff Member home with a Pizza Kit on Friday, December 1st for our Holiday Survival First Friday. Instead of gift cards for the Giving V, this year we are asking families to donate one or more pizza kits that will go home with a deserving staff member so they have a meal to make on after a busy day. THANK YOU!

Second: We will have a SECOND option for families to order additional pizza kits for themselves to be picked up on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7th between 4:30-6pm. Feel free to extend the offer to friends, family, grandparents, etc as Vernfield Home and School will earn $5 for every pizza kit sold.
