Today, let's celebrate what brings us together and stand against bullying. Unity Day is all about showing that we are stronger, kinder, and more vibrant when we include everyone.
Bullying thrives in silence. Let's make noise by wearing and sharing orange to show our commitment to a world where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.

Hey Van Fam!
Last call for 64oz Apple Juice bottles! We are collecting to help with thanksgiving donations. Any donation will be appreciated! All donations are due by Thursday!
Day 2 of School Bus Safety Week focuses on Safe Stops and the Danger Zone 🛑🚌.
The most critical time for students is when they are getting on or off the bus. This area around the bus is known as the Danger Zone because the bus driver may not be able to see children there.
