Dear
VAMS Families,
Thanks
to all of you who donated gift cards to be sent to Smith Academy in Houston,
Texas. We will ship them to the
principal early next week. If you would
like to purchase a gift card, please do and send to school Monday. Remember we are sending Walmart, Target, and
Amazon gift cards.
Our
Student Council officers sold snacks during lunch on Thursday. Student Council made $650. 00.
The money will be used to purchase gift cards for Smith Academy. The students were terrific sales people as
they were very close to selling out of items. They were very polite as they
took orders, filled the order, and collected money. We are proud of our Student Council and the
ownership each of them had for their first service project. THANKS to Mrs. Dana King for helping the
Student Council!

Our many Lost and
Found items are in the lobby. The items
(gym clothes, jackets, books, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc.) will be in the
lobby until Thursday, Oct. 5. On October

8th
Grade--- If you read last week’s newsletter, you remember that in social
studies our 8th graders have been discussing current events, as well
as, spending much time understanding the meaning of Legacy. On Wednesday the 8th

Durham. What a great trip for our 8th
graders!
