Dear VES families,
Please check your child's folder this afternoon about a special fundraiser that is happening at Vaughn. Students have the opportunity to purchase either a pre-made friendship bracelet or make their own bracelet.
All funds raised will be used to sponsor a scholarship for one BWHS senior that is planning to study or work in a STEM related program after graduation. Last year during our 1st annual scholarship fundraiser, we were able to raise over $700 that went to one amazing West student! This year I'm excited to extend our support to our own students here at Vaughn (more information to come).
All orders are due by Friday, February 2nd and we will fulfill orders the first week of March.
January is National Mentoring Month. At Vaughn we have a program called Eagle Buddies. It consists of adults in the community that come a couple times a month to have lunch with a student and build connections.
Thank you to Christie Peeler, Joanne York, Willie Cowgur, Tyler Offutt, and Marianna Reeves. You are making a difference each day for our students! Mentoring Matters! If you are i treated in your child having a lunch buddy reach out to, Marisa Snow, msnow@bentonvillek12.org.
Please be sure to send all Chromebooks and chargers to school tomorrow!
