What an honor! Our Vandy Varsity Cheerleaders were chosen to participate in the Detroit Lions Touchdown in your Town Grant today! One of 10 schools in the state of Michigan. They picked us up in a charter bus this morning, fed us lunch, presented Coach Crum with an $8,000 check, lots of free Lions swag, and of course the Game! Thank you Coach Sarah Crum and Bre Ray for writing this grant! Let’s go Lions, let’s go Jayhawks!
Miss Hillings' Kinders are already learning!
Townsend Families - We have listened to your feedback on the arrival and dismissal process. We have decided to revert back to the previous process of parents walking up to the building to drop off and pick up. Please remember that any adult picking up a student must be on the registration form. Contact the office if any changes need to be made.
We will establish a small parent and staff committee to discuss transitioning to a safer process in the future.
Have a great weekend! Mrs. LaDue, Principal
