Blessings in a Backpack

Dear Fabulous Vista Verde Community!

Due to the remarkable generosity of our Vista Verde Community, last year’s “Blessings in a Backpack” community service project was such a huge success that we are going to do it again. We will begin August 15th. I am always amazed at how thoughtful and compassionate Vista Verde families are. Thank you for all that you do to make Vista Verde the remarkable school that it is!!!

Service Learning opportunities!!!

January 17, 2019/in 2018-19, Announcements, CommunityEvents, NewsPage /by VV PTA

Dear Vista Verde Community!!!!!

For all of our fabulous families that have donated items to our Rummage Sales, I wanted to let you know that we are not having a rummage sale this year. Going forward it will be an every other year event, so save those valuable items for next year!!
Thank you all for your generosity in signing up for Blessings In A Backpack! There are quite a few families that sign up numerous times throughout the year and you are greatly appreciated! It has been very successful so far, however the remainder of the year still has many spots available. It is an incredible opportunity for students to be a part in making a difference in the lives of students that are economically less fortunate. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0445aeaf2ea0ff2-blessings
I would like to start up the garden club again and need student volunteers to do so.
I would love any suggestions for additional Service Learning Projects.

Thank you!
