Grandparents Breakfast 2009!

An annual VCS tradition took place October 1st and 2nd...the Grandparents breakfast.  Grandmas and grandpas of many VCS students joined their grandchildren for a morning of fun and food.  Many kids convinced grammie and grampa to buy books for them at the VCS Book Fair.  What a fun couple of mornings!  Thanks to all the grandparents who were able to attend and make our annual event special!

Does your child forget to give his lunch money to his teacher? Are you sick of writing checks every week? Do you like the convenience of doing things online? VCS is now using a new online lunch system called NutriKids. Beginning as early as next week parents will have the OPTION of paying their child's lunch money online. There is a link just above the current lunch menu to the right of this screen under Important Information. This link is not ready yet as parents of VCS students will receive information later this week on how to access your lunch account and make payments online. More information coming soon....

NOTICE! Supporters needed at Budget Committee meeting tonight!

Tonight (Thursday May 7th) there is a meeting of the Budget Committee at the Town Office at 7 pm. It's important that we have as many people there as possible to reinforce the message from Tuesday night.

The budget crisis and what YOU can do!

Serious budget cuts are threatening our community school. VCS already has one of the most fiscally conservative school budgets in Central Maine. Subsequent budget cuts will significantly compromise our children's education. Your child will be left behind.

Your presence at School Committee and Town Budget Committee meetings is critical! Let these elected officials know that we can't afford not to provide our community children the quality education they deserve.

Mark your calendar for Town Meeting on Monday, June 8. Be part of the democratic process, and vote to support the Vassalboro Community School and our children’s future.

(Are you on Facebook?  Join the group "Save Vassalboro Community School" to get the facts, stay in touch, and to receive notices of when the meeting occur)

Next meeting...

School Board/Budget Committee Meeting
