Dear Parents,
As Valentine’s Day approaches, we are excited to celebrate this special day with our students! However, we kindly ask that parents refrain from sending Valentine’s Day deliveries, such as flowers, balloons, or gifts, to school.
These items can cause distractions in the classroom, create logistical challenges, and may unintentionally hurt feelings if some students receive deliveries while others do not. Instead, we encourage families to celebrate with their children at home or participate in any classroom Valentine’s activities planned by the teachers.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a positive and inclusive learning environment for all our students.
Reminder that tonight's home game will be "youth night"! Every VBCYA player & coach who comes to the game will get in free IF they have their youth shirt/jersey on.
VBCYA girls may line up to run out the girls high school team (be here by 5:30) before their game & VBCYA boys can line up to run out the high school boys.

Coordinated School Health Health & Wellness Tip of the Month: Did you know that good sleep is the foundation of overall health and wellness? 😴💤When we get enough sleep, our bodies can recharge, our brains can rest, and we’re more energized for the day ahead. Whether you're a student, parent, or teacher, quality sleep can boost your mood, improve concentration, and strengthen your immune system. Remember, sleep is not a luxury – it’s a necessity! Let’s make it a priority and build strong health habits from the ground up. 🌱
