Vandal Pride at VJHS
Each Friday we encourage each student to wear Vandal red or a Vandal Gear shirt. Our hope is to help create a sense of school pride within our school.
What does this require?
Kids that wear their Vandal gear get a Vandal Voucher during their homeroom
Students who participate will write their name on a slip of paper & give it to their teacher. A student council member will be around during homeroom or study hall to collect the paper entries,
Each quarter a name will be drawn for a chance to win Vandal gear from each grade level.
