The 2/20/19 PTO meeting will be held in Room 150, not the LMC.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the PTO as part of the annual appeal. We raised over $5000! Those funds have allowed us to award grants covering the cost of:

• healthy food items for health and wellness class;
• a professional development conference for teachers;
• healthy snacks for after school activities;
• Project Adventure materials for 8th grader’s PE class;
• active classroom furniture;
• registration fees and bus passes for students;
• a community building activity with all 7th graders;
• Black Lives Matter at School t-shirt for staff;
• and more!!!!

Your support is helping VHMS strengthen its community and be a wonderful place for all our students to excel!

VHMS is participating in the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action, Feb. 4-7. Events to be announced. For now, you can order Madison’s custom t-shirt.
