Dear Vernon Community,
We're excited to announce that Pride Week is just around the corner, taking place from April 8th to April 12th! This week is all about celebrating our LGBTQIA+ community and recognizing the incredible contributions they've made to our school and the world. To honor them, the Vernon Wings of Freedom Groups have organized some special activities throughout the week. Let's come together to show our support and appreciation!
As we gear up for our final quarter of the year, we also want to remind everyone about the importance of safety, especially around our school grounds. Please refrain from stopping or parking in the designated no-parking zones near the crosswalk in front of the school. By keeping these areas clear, we ensure the safety of our students and families as they cross the street. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated, as it helps pedestrians see potential traffic and cross the street more safely.
Additionally, we're happy to share that the Raise Craze PTA fundraiser has been extended through April 15th! This initiative is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together and support our school. Even if you're unable to donate funds, remember that acts of kindness go a long way in making our community stronger and more vibrant.
For more information on the Raise Craze fundraiser and how you can get involved, please visit the Vernon PTA website. To register your kiddo for this fundraiser you can go to the following website: https://my.raisecraze.com/app2/join/AYRQ8SM
Thank you to everyone for your continued support and participation. Let's make Pride Week unforgettable and continue to foster a culture of kindness and inclusivity at Vernon!
Vernon Proud,
Ben Keefer
Principal
