Thank You for a Fabulous Evening of Bingo Fun!
Wow, what an incredible outpouring of support last week for VRB. We had some outstanding student workers at the event and at babysitting! This event would not be the same without our incredible students. A huge thank you to our staff and volunteers who make this event possible. The food, drinks, dessert, prizes, decorations, venue and countless other details! Thank you! Most of all, thank you to our community for attending the event and helping us raise money for adventures, arts and scholarships.
All students that worked at the event have logged their hours and will receive a credit towards the cost of their beach trip. Credits will be calculated based on the number of hours they worked as well as a few bonuses we have to offer for certain students that went the extra mile.
SMILE! Spring Picture Day is Tomorrow, April 30th
Spring Picture Day is tomorrow, April 30th. This is an optional picture day; only those that return their forms or order online BEFORE picture day will be photographed. Order HERE or return the picture order form with cash or check at drop off tomorrow.
Whychus Creek Restoration Adventure C/Y
We have an exciting opportunity for all students to do some river restoration! We are so grateful for our partnership with the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council to organize a few projects on various water sources in our area. We will be taking a total of 3 trips over the next month. Our first trip is this Wednesday, May 1st. We will be taking Centers and Youngers to Creekside Park in Sisters to help with riparian planting, pulling invasive weeds, and cleaning up trash near Whychus Creek. We will continue to learn about healthy watersheds and what it means to be a steward of the river.
Permission slips came home last Friday and are available here as well.
