From your FFO President
Dear Ventana Vista Community,
What a year it has been! With your support, the FFO has been able to fund events throughout the year, from Movie Night to the Eegee’s parties, and everything in between! With your volunteer hours and your donations, we’ve also funded so much more; Spelling Bee, IXL, Trunk-or-Treat, spirit wear, Bilingual Bingo, solar eclipse glasses, all the field trips, Science Fair, new equipment for the PE department, Trunk-or-Treat, teacher stipends, Color Run, STEM-a-thon, Staff Appreciation, 5th Grade Promotion, Kinder petting zoo, and the biggie, a new projector in the MPR in time for next year!
I’d like to thank the board from this year, especially those who stayed on from last year to guide me as a very inexperienced president, including Cat George, Allison Bacalia, Lynnea Molina-Strunk, and Nita Jain. They are rock stars!
Last week at the General Meeting, the FFO approved the budget for next year and voted in your 2024 - 2025 board officers! A big CONGRATULATIONS to Jennyffer Fenn, President; Kim Posl, Vice President; Lori Coan, Treasurer; and James Davenport, Treasurer-Elect. Best of luck to them and all of Ventana Vista next year, and thank you for making this year amazing!! Have a great summer!
Amy Corrales
President
