Happy Sunday, Vinewood Families!

What a wonderful week we had at Vinewood. Thank you to all of our families for helping make this week so memorable. We have another exciting week ahead, along with a few important reminders to keep in mind.

• Tuesday is Red, White, and Blue Day as we celebrate Veterans Day! If you, a family member, or someone you know is a Veteran, we would love to invite them to join us on campus by 8:10 a.m. Tuesday morning for our Veterans Day Celebration. We look forward to honoring those who have served our country.
• Wednesday, there is no school in observance of Veterans Day. Also, Wednesday is the last day to purchase tickets for the Womble Rumble, so be sure to get yours before the deadline!
• On Friday, report cards will go home, providing an opportunity to celebrate student growth and reflect on all the learning taking place at Vinewood.

Below, you will find some wonderful pictures of our Mustangs singing at the Stockton Kings game this past Saturday! A huge thank you to Ms. Guida for continuing to create meaningful opportunities for our students to connect with and contribute to our community. We are also excited to share artwork created by Mrs. Burns’ and Mrs. Yatteau’s classes, which is currently on display at the Sandhill Crane Festival. What a wonderful way to showcase the creativity and talents of our Mustangs.

As always, thank you for being such an important part of our Vinewood community. Vinewood Mustangs have HEART! We are Safe, Respectful, and Responsible! These expectations are at the heart of everything we do, from our classrooms to the playground and everywhere in between. Please continue talking with your children about what it means to demonstrate HEART throughout the school day. When school and home work together to model, encourage, and reinforce these shared expectations, we build a stronger school culture and a community where every Mustang feels supported and has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive

Sincerely,

Alyssa Barban, Principal

On November 10th, in honor of Veterans Day, we are honoring all Veterans for their sacrifice in serving our country.
