The Owl Post
March 22, 2024
Dear Vernon Community,
As we enjoy the much-anticipated Spring Break, I wanted to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to each and every one of you. This break serves as a well-deserved opportunity for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
With just a few days remaining until the start of the last quarter of the year, it's incredible to reflect on how far we've come and the strides our students have made. As we embark on this final stretch, our focus remains clear: to maximize the learning opportunities available to all our students.
Your continued support in ensuring that your students are present and ready to learn has been invaluable. It is through this collaborative effort that we can create an environment conducive to growth and achievement.
Let's make the most of the time we have left in this academic year. Together, let's explore, discover, and learn as much as we possibly can.
Wishing you all a joyful and rejuvenating Spring Break!
Vernon Proud,
Ben Keefer
Principal

PTA Fundraiser - Raise Craze
WHAT IS RAISE CRAZE?
Vernon Raise Craze is a month-long drive to be better community members, paying it forward by completing Acts of Kindness (AOKs) out in the community - A great way to learn the values of kindness and gratitude, without having to sell anything.
There’s an online platform enabling participants to set up secure, custom websites where they request donations via email, text, and social.
WHY?
We want to continue to make our school a better place by providing helpful and enriching benefits to our students & families, via classroom support, student experiences and more! We’ve chosen Raise Craze to help with these needs because it keeps kindness and inclusivity at the center, while allowing our school to keep 90% or more!
