We are thrilled to announce that Vandora Springs is a proud partner school of the Wake Up and Read program for the 2025–2026 school year! Thanks to the generous support of the WakeEd Foundation, every student in Pre-K through 5th grade will receive 5 FREE new or gently used books of their choice to help build their home libraries and encourage a love of reading.

Students will get to "shop" for their books in the media center during their Media special in the first week of June.

To make this exciting event a success, we need your help!
We are looking for volunteers to:

• Help with setup on Friday, May 30th

• Assist students and restock books throughout the week of June 2nd-June 6th from 8:45-2:45.
