As a reminder, there is no after school program at Van Corlaer this afternoon, Friday 12/22. Have a great break - we can't wait to see all our kids and families in 2024!
Van Corlaer also enjoyed their Winter Concert this week! Big thanks to all the families who were able to come and join us, and big thanks to our ensemble teachers!!! Most importantly, big CONGRATS to our musicians...your first concert was amazing! Your hard work showed!
It's been a super fun week at Van Corlaer!!! Check out these pictures from our Kindergarten Families Christmas Tree making event!
Will you need food over the holiday break? We offer food pantries in all our elementary schools, MPMS, & SHS. Contact your parent liaison to pick up food for your family. If your child attends a school that does not have a pantry, you can receive food from another location.
