Turkey Trot
The annual Billerica Partners for Education Turkey Trot, scheduled for Sunday, November 18. If you are available, please consider joining us for this fun, family-oriented community event. It would be great if the Vining could take home the participation trophy one last time. Hopefully the weather will cooperate more than last year's event. Participants that register for the Turkey Trot before November 8 receive a free t-shirt. Cost for adults to participate is $25. The registration link is  racewire.com/register.php?id=9575

Wicked Wacky Wednesday Spirit Day
Show your Vining School spirit and style by celebrating Wicked Wacky Wednesday Spirit Day on Wednesday, October 31. Students can participate by wearing Halloween themed clothing (no costumes), mixed-up day, crazy socks, or crazy hair. You can mix and match the themes or choose one. Thank you to our Student Council for coming up with this fun spirit day.

Have a Super STAR Week!
