🎅Christmas Card Drive🎄
The VCHS National Honor Society (NHS) is collecting blank Christmas cards to help bring holiday cheer to veterans!

How to Get Involved:
❤️Donate blank cards: We are looking for new, blank Christmas cards with envelopes.
❤️Drop off: Place your cards in the collection box located in the VCHS Office or in Ms. Hanson's Room

Why Blank Cards?
By collecting blank cards, the NHS can organize a separate event where students can come together to write personal messages of gratitude and holiday greetings. This ensures a consistent and meaningful message is included with each card. It also makes for a great community service event!

Thank you for your support!

Mrs. Kern and Mrs. Major took 35 students on an adventure to Illinois State University! The group explored the beautiful campus, enjoyed a guided tour, and gathered for a lively presentation all about life as a Redbird. It was a great day of learning, laughs, and a little college inspiration!

FFA would like to invite everyone to enjoy a free community meal, games, music, & fellowship. Additionally, there will be face painting, the Donut Dollies Food Truck, & the Fizzed soda truck.
If you'd like to support the FFA during this event, we will have 40 9-inch mums for purchase at $12 each.
