Hey Eagles!
Starting tomorrow our school is participating in a unique fundraising
program with Art to Remember that allows you to purchase keepsake items with your child's artwork on them. The best part is that every keepsake order supports our school. Just head to ArtToRemember.com and search for your child’s name, enter their online order code, or upload artwork from home and start shopping!

VWES Families,
Our VWES Fall Festival is this Saturday, October 5th 12p-4. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
Our PTO and Indian Land/Lancaster community has gone above and beyond to bring this exciting event to fruition. Come out with your family and spend the beautiful afternoon enjoying all the fun activities we’ve put together. See the attachment for parking information and activities we have planned!
This is NOT a drop off event- please stay with your children.
This event is FREE but there will be Food Trucks on site for purchases and the School Store will be open.
If you registered to submit a pumpkin in our Pumpkin Decorating/Carving Contest, please have it ready to drop off in car rider line on Friday morning. Please attach a piece of tape to your pumpkin with your student’s name and grade labeled on it. The PTO will be in Car Rider line to pick up the pumpkins from your children.

Dear Families,
Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: September 30-October 4
There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/vwes
While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.
When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair.
Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.
Happy reading!
PS: Need one more reason to visit the Book Fair? Every purchase at the Fair benefits our school!
