Extra Sweater/Sweatshirt

With the fluctuating temperatures, please send your child to school with an extra sweater or sweatshirt. The Vining furnace does a good job keeping the building reasonably comfortable, but this weather is keeping us guessing.  

Fun Run - Vining/Ditson

In March, we are planning to join the Ditson School in a fundraising event. The date of the Fun Run is Thursday, March 14, 2019. If you are interested in having your company name printed on the t-shirts, please return the form by Friday. These sponsors make it possible for every student to receive a t-shirt. 

Lost and Found
If your child is missing their warm jacket, hat, or mittens, please have them check the lost and found table. All items have been displayed in the main hallway.
