School Vandemeer Orders
Students were sent home with information about our Vandemeer fundraiser on November 12th. This money is being raised to go back to the students for things such as playground equipment, extracurricular activities and support with trips.
Vandemeer orders need to be placed via School Cash Online by midnight on Sunday, November 23rd. Late orders will NOT be accepted. No orders will be accepted in the office, online only.
Vandemeer ordered items will be available for pick up at the school on December 16th between 4pm – 6:30pm. This is a correction from the first information sent out. Volunteers will be available after the performance to distribute items. Plants should be transported in a heated car to keep them looking their best.
