Book Fair & Toss A Toy

What an exciting time around Vantage this week. Mrs. Grothouse and her VCC class along with Mrs. Osenga and the Early Childhood class are leading the school's Toss A Toy drive this year. There are many families in the area that need help this season and all of us at Vantage can help. Earlier in the year they held a jeans day to start raising money. This Friday, they will be holding another fund raising event, the ugly sweater day. You must wear your uniform pants. No jeans tomorrow. It will cost you $1 to wear an ugly sweater. Prizes will be awarded based on the most ugly sweater, the ugliest Christmas sweater and the OMG what where you thinking sweater (school appropriate please). It should be a fun day. We are also having a penny stall tomorrow. Remember to fill those buckets with pennies so your instructor will have to count them all during your class, thus stall them from teaching. As always the tree is up on our stage and if you would like to donate a toy, please just drop it off in the sleigh. Vantage has made a huge difference for little kids in the past and we hope to continue this tradition. Please think about donating and enjoy the season!

I also want to remind everyone about the book fair coming to the library starting this Friday. Mrs Knodel has been doing this book fair for a lot of years and what a great success it is. What a great idea for doing some early Christmas shopping. All books are 30% off and there is NO TAX!!!  There will be more books than you could possibly imagine and one that is just right for that special person on your list.  I know the students track their reading time so why not pick up a book you would really enjoy and bury yourself in it over the holidays.

Well that is it for now. Don't forget to stop by the office and say hello and grab a piece of candy out of my freshly stocked bowl. The Christmas decorations are up in the office and waiting for all of you to enjoy. Have a great day!
