Fake Threat...Real Consequences

End-of-Year eighth-grade activities will include a field day event during the last week of school (date TBD) and an eighth-grade dance. The dance is scheduled for May 29th from 6 - 8:30 pm in the VLMS cafe. Unfortunately, there will be no promotion ceremony or end-of-year field trip. We are no longer able to secure a viable venue to host our promotion ceremony due o the size of our eighth-grade class and conflicts with scheduling. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
