As this school year comes to a close, we want to give a HUGE thank you to our amazing PTO for everything you’ve done for our school, teachers, and students this year. ❤️

So much time, effort, planning, and love goes into supporting our campus, and we know that many of you sacrifice extra time away from your own families to make all of these things happen. From encouraging our teachers to creating special moments for our students, your hard work never goes unnoticed.

We are incredibly thankful for each and every one of you. Our school is better because of your generosity, dedication, and servant hearts. Thank you for showing up, giving back, and making such a difference all year long!
We appreciate you more than words can say! 👏🍎

As this school year comes to a close, we want to say THANK YOU to all of our amazing families, staff, and community members who supported PTO events and fundraisers throughout the year! Because of your generosity, we raised over $3,000 this year! 🎉

We are excited to share that these funds will help provide staff appreciation gift cards for next school year as a small way to continue showing love and support to our incredible teachers and staff.

In addition, we are proud to partner with the Van Education Foundation to help provide a bike path for the students of J.E. Rhodes Elementary. We are thankful for the opportunity to invest back into our students, staff, and school community in meaningful ways.

Thank you for making a difference and helping us continue to support our school! We can’t wait to see you back next year! ❤️🖤

On Friday, we had our final Family Huddle of the school year with a fun summer-themed celebration! ☀️🏖️

Students enjoyed beach games, lots of laughter with friends, and a special summer treat to send them off into summer break. While we are sad to see our Family Huddles come to an end for this year, we are so thankful for all the memories made and are already looking forward to many more next year! 🌴🌊

Our JER students loved creating their own monsters, and the talented VJHS students brought them to life with their sewing skills! Seeing the finished creations presented back today was so sweet and so much fun.

We are so grateful for this special partnership and the memories made along the way! ✨
