Dear Voyager Families,
We are thrilled to share some exciting news about the VBC's Dine to Donate program has just leveled up, and we're spreading our wings – literally!
Introducing our newest partner: Detroit Wings Company! We've teamed up with Detroit Wings Company to bring you mouthwatering delights while making a positive impact in our school community. Here's the delicious deal: Detroit Wings Company will generously donate a whopping 20% of their proceeds each Monday between 4-8 PM. The funds raised will go towards purchasing prizes for our school wide student recognition program.
With the chilly weather settling in, we want to make sure our students are warm, cozy, and ready to conquer the great outdoors. Our students go outside for recess each day, as long as the real feel temperature is above 10 degrees. Please ensure your child comes to school prepared to go outside each day. If you need support with warm winter gear, please contact our school counselor, Mrs. Peffer at [email protected].
Enjoy your weekend.
Sincerely,
Danielle Schmidt
