Today several EA students took time out of their busy lives to stop by VCS and help us make our school a little brighter.  It was all part of EA's "Day of Caring" in which EA students venture out into the community to volunteer for various community service projects.  Today the kids worked around the grounds of VCS spreading bark mulch that was donated by the United Way, as well as sprucing things up. Thank you from all of us at VCS!
