Updates from the Vista Verde Foundation

Dear Viking Family Community:
Through your continued support and partnership, the VV Foundation strives to create an unparalleled educational experience for our students. From Chrome Books or iPads for every student in the classroom, state of the art middle school science lab and library furniture, and the shade structure and lunch tables for the kindergarten wing, the VV Foundation has worked to enhance our school community.
With the holiday season in full swing, we are reminded of the importance of family, friends and community. We are thankful to you, our wonderful Viking Family Community, for your unwavering support and partnership. As we close out 2022 and embark on 2023, we ask for your support and renewed financial commitment in continuing the mission of the VV Foundation to, “Enhance the Educational Environment of the Vista Verde School Community”.
Please see the attached letter, which further details how you may support and become a partner or renew your partnership with the VV Foundation and support Vista Verde K-8. As an extra incentive, you may receive additional tax benefits by making the donation by December 31, 2022.
