Craft Show Volunteers Needed

As spring draws near, there is just one thing on the hearts and minds of us all:

 The VJA Music Parents Spring Craft Show

Now, of course, we look forward to seeing the “usual suspects” who always help out but we’d love to see some new faces too! So, whether you’re an old hand or a newbie, please consider donating your time to this fundraiser which helps to fund the music programs at our school!

Thank You!

Dear Parents,

I wanted to take some time this morning to express my heart felt thank you to all of the parents who helped make this season what it was (a huge success).  I really can’t thank all of you enough for the countless hours, sewing, painting, driving, chaperoning, building, planning etc…  You guys really make it easy for us to keep our attention on what matters, teaching this kids.  Your dedication and support doesn’t go unnoticed and truly makes all of the difference!  You should all feel very of your students and their accomplishments and take some satisfaction in knowing that you played an extremely important role in making their success possible.

Thank you!

Alan
