This week is Computer Science Education Week! At Van Buren we offer a wide range of classes that immerse our students into the world of technology based learning. This week we will be featuring teachers and students to tell you all about it! #BeABlackKnight #CSEdWeek
The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library Bookmobile will be at Van Buren on Monday, December 6, from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. Middle and high school students can visit the bookmobile during their lunch periods, so if students have a FHCPL card, please be sure they have their cards December 6 so they can check out books.
Students can also place holds on books using the FHCPL website (www.findlaylibrary.org) and pick those up on the bookmobile as long as they identify the bookmobile as the pick-up location (they still need to have their library cards with them).
Students who don't have library cards can visit the library in Findlay (206 Broadway St.) to register for a card. Parents must be present with their children and have two forms of identification (one must be a photo ID).
Congrats to Elijah & Laney for their Positive Behavior Referrals!

As many of you may have heard, a large amount of Toys for Tots donations were stolen from a storage unit recently, leaving the drive short on donations for this year. To help replenish the donations for local children, the Hancock County Sheriff's Office is helping to collect toys.
Our goal at Van Buren is to fill Deputy Crouch's office with toys! If you would like to participate, please send a new, unwrapped toy with your child to school by Friday, Dec. 10. We will have drop off locations for both the middle/high school and elementary school each morning. #BeABlackKnight
